This is about the tenth one of t...hese little drives that I have purchased over the past 2.5 years. A couple of these are used everyday and the rest perform various periodic backup functions. (They are cheaper than the equivalent stack of DVD-R discs.) All of them continue to perform flawlessly, with no bad sector events or any other indications of problems. During lengthy write operations (30+ minutes continuous), the drive will be warm to the touch, but never too hot to hold. When computer is in standby/sleep mode or the drive has not been used for a period of time, it spins down automatically. When accessed it spins up and is ready to use in about five seconds. As with all portable drives I know, this one operates at 5400 RPMs. During writing of multi-GB files it is slightly slower than my externally powered non-portable drive that operates at 7800 RPM. With large numbers of smaller files, the difference is negligible.

I wanted an external memory fo...r all my music, since I dj. This product is great except, for it to work with my Denon system, I need a memory that has its own power supply and this one does not. I still have to use my WD My Book because of this reason. Unfortunately, there was no indication on any description that I read advising the lack of external power, my fault. Again, great product, very reasonable price but just not what I needed.

Just as the name implies this unit is very... small in size but large in capacity !!! Setup was a snap and the all inclusive directions very user friendly! You control exactly what you want the unit to do & forget it !!! I use this unit on more than one device but it keeps a separate log for each device & you select the log you wish to utilize for restoring! Will buy again and recommend to all to try it ! PS: Uses "USB 3.0 & also works on 2.0"
