The thing looks cool in the picture, but it comes with a huge transformer that they don’t show in the picture. I had thought it was powered by USB it cannot.

The drive was easy to use right from the box. Based on that I would buy again. Too early to review regular use.

Drive became corrupt the second day I had it. Lost all of my data. Disappointing product.

The hard disk is pretty nice build and great designed. The absence of lighting colors is great. It could be a little less noisy but it’s allmost ok.

don’t waste your money, it runs very hot to the touch and was very noisy. WD sent me a replace and that one would not work. I have a maxtor that is 5 years old and still runs great.
