Its a good drive for basic storage but it has some rather annoying flaws
First is the Y-shape USB cable, this drive wont start up unless you have one of these, which also means that you do need 2 free USB ports.
Second is the disk format, this comes in FAT32, which is alright in terms of compatiblity with older systems, but you cant transfer any file over 4GB onto it, and since i do a fair amount of video editing with the uncompressed AVI format (1 hour of footage = 13GB), its rather annoying
Third - it cant be used with a USB hub, its kinda a downer for me since i have 3 USB ports on my laptop and i have to use all three, a simple hub cant handle the power needed for the hard drive
But overall, it is a descent hard drive for casual users who need to back up files on a semi-regular basis and dont mind sacrificing 2 usb ports to run it.

I bought this hard drive to back up my pictures and music files beacause I had to do a restore on my dell laptop. After I did the restore, I go to the hard drive and to my dismay the pictures didnt transfer. Five years worth of pictures!!!!! Lost!!!! These were basic jpegs, no reason for them not to transfer. The only thing that transfered were the folders, which I have labeled by event and date. Stupid me, for not opening each one to check the contents. You would think in this day and age the thing would tell you that your content arent being transferred. When I called customer service, they were no help, completely useless. This product gets one rating for my lost memories.
