Slow and Unreliable - Don't Waste your Money!

According to my experience, this External Hard Drive is extremely slow and often disconnects from Wi-Fi, making it frustrating to use. The only pro is that it has a large storage capacity, but this is not worth the hassle. Save your money and invest in a more reliable option.

Pros
  • Large storage capacity of 500GB
Cons
  • Requires a Wi-Fi connection to access files

Excellent reliable product for every day!

The first one I've bought from another seller. I bought my second one as a gift through Revain. Without boring you with details: I had never heard of EMTEC before buying it.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

All lies! the instructions don't include the necessary setup information and it's not compatible with iTunes

It doesn't work well for music playback, there's no way to shuffle songs or create a playlist, you have to tap each song individually. When I tried to download a movie from this product to my phone, I could…

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
