Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product for computers and accessories

I really love this unit, I've only had it 4 months but it did everything I needed. I have a blog and save a lot of content. , and for a spinning disc it still transfers large files of all kinds very well; It far exceeded my expectations in terms of transfer speed. It stores what I need, and the durability, built-in USB, and sleek looks all add to the product. Durability is a great aspect, it doesn't feel brittle like my old external hard drive which was Seagate; and I feel completely comfortable taking it to and from work and when traveling. The internal USB is perfect, that was my last drive's failure, and the fact that there are two cables (one short and one long) really helps with work and travel. I will update the rating if it fails within 2 years like my previous Seagate drives did. The security aspects are amazing and that is the main reason I got it. My significant other and I store personal information on it so we feel a lot safer leaving it at home when we travel without worrying about someone gaining access if it gets stolen. I see some people complaining that everything gets erased when you reset it, but knowing from the start that I'll be using a card and password protection gives me a good and comfortable feeling. I strongly recommend everyone to protect both the card and the password so that there is a backup in case you forget your card or can't remember your password. All in all a great product and I can't wait to keep using it.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Almost never
