Buy Size is easy to transport ! Fits inside computer case with Velcro straps! I had seagste drive that fell 3 feet and never turned on. I haven't dropped this ... But supposed to be protected. Usual transfer speeds for my files has been ( high of about 14 mb/second to a low of 5 ) That could be my computer and not the drive Took all my 8gb, 16 GB ,32 senate Zip drives and put in one place on lacy Took old DVD and CDs and copy to lacy Dividing things into 128 GB folders So can have second backup copy of LaCie drive on usb Then I make second use copy Eventually will buy a second Lacey and make additional backup of LaCie Ok LaCie a little slower than I thought But no problems so far PS - SETUP for both Mac and PC You move slider all the way And it's so easy! Works great with both my MacBook and my pc ! I bought and registered some 3 year data backup recovery plan as well YOUR LIFE IS YOUR DATA! Having college papers and other stuff on lacy including music collection, articles , books ... Well paying only $200 for LaCie plus recovery plan is huge Bargin! Nice to throw out old small usb and Targums 320 dvd case BUY LACIE ! You likely don't need thunderbolt version And key with this is peace of mind protection that if it drops from desk you won't lose your life or data ! Has paid for itself in terms of making downsizing easy . If there was a fire , I'd grab the LaCie drive and leave everything else . NOT MY REAL NAME OR EMAIL

Great storage expansion. Excellent for when you need to free up space on the internal drive. I like to minimize the time my system wastes constantly downloading updates for games I'm not currently playing by moving them to this external drive and then disconnect it.

Works fine. Inexpensive cost per MB.
