Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's REALLY fast! in Computers and Accessories

Haven't used it to "write" yet, but it's really fast when it comes to "reading". The device I use the most is copying a physical audiobook onto my iPod for mobile listening - and it's really fast. I bought this unit to replace a broken unit and am very happy with my choice. I have one negative comment (why the rating doesn't get 5 stars) that has to do with the build quality. These devices are portable and lightweight, requiring the user to hold the drawer to close it. I used to do this by placing my index finger on top of the device at the front and using my thumb to close the drawer. With this unit I found that I had to hold the unit in place by holding the back of the unit with one hand while closing the drawer with the other hand by placing my thumb on the top of the unit from the front put, I just press on the top of the case. just enough to close the box. Once my muscle memory gets used to closing the box in a new way, it won't be a problem. Let's hope the rest of the build quality is a bit heavier.

Pros
  • DISC Encryption II for password management and working with hidden files
Cons
  • Short instructions
