    Very portable, comes with its own backup software. Enough storage to backup my entire laptop and movie library. Now I can travel with just one backup drive.

    Easily picked up at the store. Already have a couple of these. Great product so far. If you need the capacity and can afford it, buying one is a no-brainer! Very satisfied.

    Flawless. I use this to store all my wildlife photography. It has been very reliable. Plenty of storage. I will be looking to purchase a second one in the near future.

    Awesome Portable Drive

    This is a great portable drive to have on hand for sharing information with other people. Pictures, videos, music, etc... Small enough to put in a pocket, but better to put in a case for safety.

    Started gaming a lot more due to getting into a relationship, and this was an excellent addition to my computer. Splurged and got the largest memory available because I didnt want to have to worry about space at all. Loved it so much I actually came back and purchased a second one for my bf, knowing he'd need it a lot more than I.

    So far so good. It’s spacious and fast enough for my needs (especially for the price). I will say sometimes it seems like it takes a long time for my Mac to recognize it and successfully mount it (compared to other drives I’ve used), but I assume that has something to do with the fact that I encrypt this drive. Worth mentioning, though, as I think I encrypted the one this replaced, and I don’t remember the kind of delays. Anyway, it hasn’t been a major issue.

    Works great! Small and compact, perfect for travel. Decided to get the 5 TB instead of the 4TB because it was only $10 so it was well worth the price.
