    This has been an excellent purchase. I’ve waited to do a review simply to see if it had a failure. It’s ridden in my back pack to work and to recreation. It holds my 3D print files. Outstanding stability

    I was looking for a portable storage device at a good price to save the contents of three old laptops prior to recycling them. This had the space at a very good price and a good warranty. It worked with absolutely no problems and now ten years of files are safe and organized.

    Really Great product. You get 4.8 gigs of storage as it needs to keep its system storage up to date but alot of atorage to keep files on, but do be careful as there is a fan inside and it can be damaged.
