    Good drive for a good price, but not great.

    I go through a lot of drives, as I use them for high res digital video files. I bought this as a last minute drive for on set as I was running out of space on my regularly used LaCie drives. This drive has been very reliable and at an above par speed when connected to a workhorse computer. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this product. I don't plan replacing my regularly used brand (LaCie), but I will start to sprinkle in a few of these among my lower cost jobs as the dollar to performance is very good.

    Good size, attractive price, plenty of storage space with decent portability for such a large capacity. Transfer speeds are adequate and it functions well as a USB backup for a NAS drive. A nice touch is the availability of several, different, vivid colors, a welcome disruption of the drab, monochromatic desk environment.

    Good external drive to use as storage. The only thing I would have changed is if the drive was solid state.

    Hoping that this Passport is a good one. I hear these type of things have a high fail rate so you should always have two and do your backup on both in case of a failure. I just learned today from the Geeks that the Passport brand is encrypted so if it does fail it's impossible to recover your data. Other brands in the store are not encrypted. If you need high security the Passport is your brand but if not go with a non-encrypted.

    The boss wanted a big flash drive for downloaded movies envisioning a screen similar to Popcorn Time. I told him we should acquire a portable hard drive instead; a much larger capacity with a small loss in portability. This drive works well with his 75" HD Samsung media box and is ideal for his situation.
