3 Stars Not so sure I bought this item
I bought one of these babies a month and a half ago and am not all that pleased. I have several machines that I routinely move information from/to and back up. I needed a reliable and portable solution. I’ve had several problems with some of my machines ingesting this drive and so am concerned about long-term reliability. If you’re considering a disk like this, review all alternatives first!
