Amazon Verified Purchase

I am not a computer geek. Just a regular person who uses the computer for e-mail, pictures and music... Was so easy to transfer my information from the PC to this device for safe keeping. Arrived quickly in the mail even though when I ordered, it was out of stock. Came in a few days. Looked up all the reviews on line before ordering and I have had no problem thus far. Nice product!

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical small and useful., September 12, 2009

By	Eugenio M. Alanis Mercado "ealan" (laredo, tx) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This little disk is perfect to back up my MacBook Pro using Time Machine. It is not the fastest HD available, but its small size makes it a winner. It comes with a custom made pouch and the USB powered cable. My MacBook Pro does not need the extra USB power and works great with a single or standard USB cable.

I use it mainly for backups, and I don't know how it will work on a high demand basis or a severe write and erase basis like a photographer or video shooter.

It fits in the $125 dlls or lower range for a 500gb disk so it is not expensive at all.

Maybe after one year of use I can tell more about it.
