Rating: - Very good product
This external drive is small and durable. You don't have to use external power. You only need to connect the usb cable to your computer and that's it. The software included is okay, and very customizable.

Now, when my laptop decides to die, all I have to do is restore the data to the new computer. This hard drive operates almost silently, could only hear it if I listened for it. Since there is no fan, it does get a little ... Read More
