    Bought this because I was tired of carrying around multiple usb flash drives. Super convenient, slim, portable, has enough storage and still easy to carry. Only downside for me was I bought it at full price but then once the 2 week return or exchange period ended, it went on sale for $90 :/

    Have only used this as plug and play so far. And that was simple. Still want to figure out what I think is supposed to be included software to do scheduled backups. Needed this to transfer files from old failing desktop to new desktop, and it has met that need.
