I have an ultra thin laptop and wanted a portable drive that could be plugged in without additional software/driver installation packages. That's great. Installs automatically in Windows 7/8/10 without additional drivers. I hooked it up to multiple computers and it works within seconds. That's great. I ended up backing up about 200 DVDs on my computer with this drive.
