Marvelous Data Storage Location
This is a great device for capturing data and photos that you want off your computer. The head of the IT dept at Lone Star College recommended using a good one like this to keep your financial data off your computer so hackers would not find them (only open when you are using them). It is very easy and fast to access the photos as you want. All-in-all, a very good buy.

Thank you! Great choice for my new laptop.
So far this laptop has proven to be exactly what I needed! Great clarity, very nice keyboard, holds its charge, and just overall exceeds expectations. Also love the Flex top exclamation Geek Squad helped me do a lot of the preliminary transition and set up. Geek squad has already proven to well worth the investment. The photo has a mini keyboard that I bought overlapping the regular keyboard so please note this is not the best photo but it’s the only one I had on hand.
