    Its good. Quiet. Best not to have it connected all the time or will run continuously. Like the password feature. Next time will by a solid state as you can damage data from the unit moving or dropping while writing data Password software could be FAR better so lowered star for ease of use

    It is a very good option, reading and writing is quite fast and it also has software to set a password and thus have greater security for your files. It feels very good quality.
