5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Purchase

Pros: I find this purchase well worth the money. I love the password requisites to protect my data. You can even change the password whenever you wish. I only use the USB 2.0, but I still find the transfer of data to be excellent. I was skeptical about this purchase beforehand because of a coworkers bad luck, but I am extremely content with mine. Yes, I should have considered buying a larger HDD. I will probably do that in the near future.

Cons: No negative thoughts. I have purchased Western Digital HDDs in the past and they have never left me down.

5 out of 5 eggsNo problems. Big data / low power

Pros: Fast, quiet, cool. Works fine with power from a single USB port on different laptops, desktops and even on my router.

Cons: Has a proprietary USB cable/connector - this is not a regular USB-to-miniUSB cable like many other other 2.5" external drives. You have to use the cable that comes with the drive. It's very short.

Other Thoughts: Got some heavy duty velcro and stuck this to the side of my router running DD-WRT, turned it into a tiny ultra-efficient server.

3 out of 5 eggsGood Product

Pros: Bought this to hold songs and movies in it so that when I had to go some where I could use it on my tablet and with it being small it worked out great.

Cons: Work great for about two months then died on me and took over 400GB's of movies with it.

Other Thoughts: I have been using WD HD's in all of my computers for years now but this was the first EX HD I have bought from them. It lasted for about two months then died and took over 400GB's of movies with it. SO with that I had to take off two stars. I guess I had to get a bad apple sooner or later.

2 out of 5 eggsDied in less than a year.

Pros: - Compact
- Stores Data

Cons: - Poor manufacturing.
- Expires long before real passports do.

Cost me about 25$ a month because I have to buy a new hard drive after 8 months.

Other Thoughts: Buy an internal HD for storage, if you want to move data from place to place get a USB flash card.

5 out of 5 eggsSmall. Portable. Reliable.

Pros: USB 3.0 Support-- I use it primarily with USB 2.0 hosts, but when connected to a 3.0 host, transfer speeds are super fast.

Reliability-- The drive is constantly plugged into my Desktop machine and I've never had a problem. I store most of my important data, including but not limited to my downloaded iTunes content, and computer backups. The drive comes with utilities for both Windows and Macintosh computers.

Portability-- If you're looking for a large-capacity drive that you can easily store away when travelling or something small that won't take up as much space wherever you're using it, this drive is the one to go for. Length and width wise, the drive is roughly the size of my wallet and about as thick as my portable DVD drive.

Cons: Only con is that I didn't purchase the 2TB version instead of the 1TB. This isn't really a con, though!

Other Thoughts: I didn't purchase this product from Newegg however I only have good things to say about it. If you purchase this, you'll quickly see that it's money well spent! It's certainly one of my wiser computer hardware purchases.

5 out of 5 eggsGood so far

Pros: This packs a large amount of memory into a small case. It does not get as hot as some of my previous drives, I am hoping that means it will have a longer lifespan. The USB cord that comes with is the perfect size, not so short that you can't move, and not so long that it gets caught. This is my first unpowered drive, and I love not being attached to a power outlet. There are no issues streaming movies or TV shows right from the drive, the exchange is fast enough for a smooth show.

Cons: sensative!

When this thing is running, you can not move it at all! I was streaming a movie and the only issue I had was when I moved the hard drive around.

Other Thoughts: I am happy with my purchase so far. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan, so I will be putting this drive to the test. I will update this review in 6 months and let you know how it holds up. Thank you Newegg for being one of the few companies who will ship out here!
