    Used this drive to backup my data from my PS4 for migrating over to a SSD. After the backup, it's still a fast and tiny drive that I also use for extended storage.

    I use several of these for backing up data daily for a client. Very reliable, even after multiple reuses. Will continue to buy, as we retire them each calendar year.

    I bought this product for school so I could save my projects and videos. I didnt know if there were any instructions on how to use but was disappointed as I didn’t know you have to recalibrate it first before using.
