Now, the 2TB storage? A game-changer for anyone drowning in files. All my photos, videos, and work projects find a cozy home here without slowing down my digital life. And when it comes to transferring stuff, the USB 3.0 is like the speed of light – saving me time and sanity.
Setting it up is a breeze – no tech wizardry required. It plays nice with my Mac.
But what I love most? It's small enough to fit in my pocket. Seriously, having my digital life in my pocket is a game-changer, especially when I'm on the move.
ONE PROBLEM: I almost returned this drive the day after I got it. I started transferring my smaller external HD's over to this new drive and it crashed. The transfer froze less than 1/4 of the way through the data. Now mind you, I'm on a Mac and I didn't reformat the drive--thinking I may use it on a windows machine also. I could not cancel my frozen file transfer and thus had to restart my computer. That caused the drive not to mount--so now my computer is not recognizing the drive. I ran Disk Doctor and Tech Tool Pro. They spotted the drive, did some of their magic and it mounted on my desktop again. So I reformatted in Mac OS native Journaled format. Not a single problem since then.
BOTTOM LINE: A good value. But for heaven sake, don't delete whatever you copy to this drive before you know its going to be stable. And if you have a MAC, you will do yourself a favor by reformatting the drive.
