N/A 5/4/2013 2:51:59 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Well worth it Pros: Nice Design USB 3.0 No extra power adapter needed Cons: None Other Thoughts: I was looking for an external HDD for random stuff and back ups. I happen to come across this one on a really good sale. Only cost me $70.00 with free shipping. Worth every penny. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/1/2013 4:48:40 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Works Great Pros: I have used on multiple systems with no issues. The USB 3 and 1 TB should be minimum requirements now for most people. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/26/2013 2:00:49 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Decent Portable Harddrive Pros: Standard Portable HD. Design is nice. Connector is solid and of good quality. USB cable is pretty short but I'm guessing that’s the case with most portable harddrives. Dull white light on top lets you know what data is being accessed and when device is powered. Rubber feet are small and I don’t think they are going to fall off anytime soon. Matt black finish doesn’t get dirty easy. Transfer rates are fast on usb3 connections. Cons: none its just what I wanted. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Cons: N/A Other Thoughts: The 2.5" back-up HDD is a favorite of mine. Thumb drives are great but you can't beat the price per GB of these drives. Keep in mind my knowledge is "somewhat high", lol.
