Pros: First off, it has a nice design that blends into your desk without sticking out like a sore thumb. It is extremely quiet even while transferring files. My older Freeagent drive is noticeably louder because it clicks and then spools up...this one makes no noise at all that I can hear. As far as speed, writing a large video file to the drive using USB 3.0 port bounces between 190MB/sec and 210MB/sec. Transferring the same file back to my SATA 6.0Gb/sec internal drive it bounces between 300MB/sec and 350MB/sec. If this drive holds up, it is way faster than any other external mechanical drive I have owned.
Cons: The only con I can come up with is the USB 3.0 cord is only 3 feet long...your computer better be directly under where you place this on your desk, or it won't reach!
Overall Review: Seems to be a very solid, fast-performing drive.
