There isn’t much to say about this drive. I plugged it in and it worked as it is supposed to work. I’ve little problem with it. I gave it four stars because sometimes I get a message in Windows that there is a problem with the drive. I have not experienced a problem beyond receiving those messages, so the issue my have more to do with an old usb hub than with the drive itself.

Have only had for a couple of weeks. Is working great and was easy setup. Is very rugged but hope I don’t have to put it to test. Very satisfied with this product.

I cannot recommend this product. Randomly disconnects from computer. Unreliable and scary!

I recently bought a new computer, and needed more space to ensure that I was able to store videos before uploading to YouTube. This drive was perfect. It is small, rugged and easy to use.

I really wish I could like this product as all of my fellow photog friends do, however within the month I purchased it, it corrupted and I lost about 5 years worth of work on it. Thankfully I had a backup elsewhere but the drive was deemed unreadable and I had to throw it away. Switched to buffalo since then.

I’ve used rugged drives for years for on-the-go road backups and quick offloads. It’s form factor and track record of successful backups will keep me coming back.

I purchased 2 of these back in June 2020 and have had them plugged in almost daily since then. Fast transfers, no hiccups, solid build.

So I have bought two of these drives, and they were a few months apart. This most recent one came with a different cord and it dismounts the drive all the time. Whether I am touching it or not. Like it will be sitting there and I will be working on a file not moving the my computer or the drive and it will dismount and my work wont be saved. The image I uploaded has the newer cord on the left that doesnt fit into the port at all and dismounts randomly, and the cord on the right is the cord I got when I ordered this drive a few months ago and that one works just fine with both drives.
