I had 2 of these hard drives because they weren't durable. I'm studying photojournalism, so I travel a lot and always have a hard drive in my camera bag. My first died, most likely because I wasn't very careful with it, but I learned from it, and so on the second I got a good case for it and was more careful. I used the second one as my main drive for a month and today the hard drive fell off my chair onto the carpet and when I tried to plug it in it wouldn't come up. I've tried the freeze trick, different cords, but it just doesn't pull. As a photojournalist I need something that will last, even if it takes a bit of a beating since I can't keep buying $60 hard drives that just break. 10/10 will not buy again.
