1.0 out of 5 stars Careful with useless warranty service..., April 16, 2009

This review is from: Transcend TS250GSJ25M StoreJet 2.5-Inch Anti-Shock Plastic Housing with 250GB HDD (Personal Computers)

Drive stopped working after a couple of months. Even though it sat on my office desk as a backup drive (I never carried it around with my laptop, never exposed it to impact shocks or temperature changes) it just stopped working.

Transcend didn't have any service centers "in my region" and they referred me to a retailer for service BUT I had to pay for the shipping to and from, and also be subject to service charges from the retailer. In other words, I had to pay to get it fixed. No deal for such a cheap (in every possible context) drive.

My advice: DO NOT buy. In fact do not buy ANY Transcend product 'cause if it breaks down, you'll be stuck with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Design is Great - But the Software Stinks!, June 21, 2011

The design of this unit captured my imagination about carrying it with me when we leave on vacation, etc. And when the unit arrived, I was convinced that I had made the right purchase. But design is meaningless if the unit does not perform. Transcend needs to do a lot of work on their software - quickly - before sales of this beautifully designed package evaporate! This was the first time I have ever returned a purchase to Amazon, (and the process was painless), and I replaced it with a CLICKFREE unit which operates flawlessly, plus it backs up only NEW files each time, (Transcend would only do a COMPLETE backup for each new backup).

I purchased this portable hard drive earlier this week to back up my computer and transfer files between school and home. Shipping was fast and the product arrived on the estimated date. I unpackaged the device and plugged it in. The device was immediately recognized by my computer (which is sometimes a problem). I was easily able to partition the device and set it as my back up location with plenty of space left over to use for school. So far i am completely satisfied with this purchase.
