Rating: - External Hard Drive
I was in need of a place to store the photos and pictures that I use in creating my documents and greeting cards, etc.. I was told that using an external hard drive would give me a place to do that. Also, it would allow my computer to function better. I am a great grandmother who decided I wanted to learn to use the computer about five years ago, so I am still fairly new at this. Knowing that, I would like to say that I did not have any problems installing the hardware. It does what it is supposed ... Read More
Rating: - we'll see how long it last
I bought this to back up all my important info. Hopefully this drives last a long, long time. Seems to transfer files fast, and I didn't even bother installing the turbo.
All and all, I'm happy with this drive.

Once that finished, everything has worked perfectly. Excellent product!

The auto shut off feature comes in handy, because I would always forget to turn off my other external drives. My drives came formatted in FAT, but it was no big deal to reformat. With the price of internal drives dropping ... Read More
Rating: - Great price, Great Drive!
I have owned this drive for over six months now, it is my second external drive (the other is Cavalry and I wouldn't recommend that brand at all) The best feature included, that I think you must have with an external drive is that it powers off and on with the system automatically (Cavalry does not do this) The drive is quiet, access speed is very good (no Turbo feature installed) and the indicator lights are not glaring like so many other exernal drives are, a small green light indicates power and red ...
