an unacceptable percentage of the minis simply stop working. One day, you plug in the device, and it just starts clicking. The information cannot be retrieved....poof. In one case, I put the information on two minis, because I always back things up in 2 or 3 spots...and both minis died.

When I had an old MacBook Pro, I had to transfer a lot of data from my hard drive to an external. USB 2.0 is fine, but I needed *anything* that was quicker. FireWire was the only choice I had, and with the secondary USB 3.0 port, this was good for looking into a future computer with faster transfer...

I transferred roughly 700gb of data to this within a few days of buying this drive. Since then, it's sat on a shelf until today when I needed to access the data. My computer can no longer access the drive citing "I/O Device Failure" My data has been lost and tech support aren't even capable of...

Not the smallest drive I had, but certainly the toughest. The drive is very well built, and has excellent transfer speeds. The setup was a no-brainer, and the drive has been working like a charm for a bit more than a year now, and survived plenty of trips.

Bought this one for my son because he needs a good reliable hard drive for backup and travelling. The one I purchased for myself has been around the world a few times. I would definitely recommend this drive to anyone.

Very good quality and very fast delivery. Thanks.

My first boss was a real fanatic about backups, and taught me to always compound the odds in my favor. MIL-spec ruggedness is a way of doing that and, along with the availability of lots of space for files, made it pretty easy to pick this drive out of the many other models available on the market.

bus-powered; rugged; USB 3.0; fast; AES 256-bit encryption; Thunderbolt interface

so far none

I had to salvage all my files from an old external drive, before it was obsolete. I bought this online at johnlewis.com, and picked it up from the store's collection point at Brent Cross, NW London.

Got this because my old backup drive died. It works really well and fast. It comes with a USB C to USB A so you can use it on any computer. It comes loaded with a setup tool that is really helpful to create a shared partition that works with Windows.

Best hard driver ever and really safe
