Pros: You get what you pay for. I bought 3 other brands that were advertised as USB 3.0 but either were not recognized by my new computer (Win 8.1 Pro) or only worked in USB 2.0. So I gave this one a try and even though a little on the expensive side works just as it should.

Cons: No Cons. On an ease of use suggestion, the power button should be located on the front rather than the back of the unit.
