There is major problems with the USB cable and jack. It was very temperamental from the get-go and, after a few months, completely stopped working.

It does what it needs to do.

I had it for quite a while and still working fine. I don't use it much and most of the time is off as I have it as backup but still I think is good. The only problem you may have is that it takes long for some systems to recognise it when you switch it on.

My first HD

As is the description it is my first hd but sadly it needs power to run. Hd is very good in terms of read and write ratio. Out of 1tb only 989gb is available. Formating of the hd is also v easy. It can be connected to any pc or laptop and also to tvs for entertainment purpose.

Does what it is supposed to do - nothing more, nothing less. I bought this HDD as it is on the certified external drive list for the Wii U and thus works great with the said console.

Happy with this so far

This is just what I needed to back up my files. It works well and is small enough that I don't mind carrying it around if I have to. I would recommend this to people who want a safe and easy way to back up their files!
