Really shouldn't have to jump thru so many hoops to get a simple device to work. Wasted almost an hour of my time.

retractable design, reasonably sturdy plastic, Good speed; HD Tune measured 20MB/s average read speed; Write speed is about 10MB/s; That's 1.5x faster than the Kingston DataTraveler 2GB and the Sandisk cruzer 4gb I have

Windows 7 does not recognize the stick when first plugged in; Windows XP does; Went into "Device Manager" and saw "Store N Go" in the USB device list; Trying updating the driver (auto method) in Windows 7 but it says it is already up to date; Search the web for solution but nothing.

As we saw with Verbatim's 500GB drive it's a company with a real talent for compact designs. With the Store ‘n' Go 1TB Verbatim has managed to shrink its device down to the smallest size you could possibly imagine containing a 2.5in hard drive – not a millimetre is wasted.

Super-compact and stylish to boot

Rough software solution

Currently the Verbatim Store'n'Go External SSD 32GB USB 3.0 unit is priced at £73.  As a comparison the USB stick product can be had for just under £30 (originally priced at £55).  The SSD unit will work with Windows XP and later or Mac OS X 10.1 systems.

Only 2 weeks after purchasing this product, and its already broken/ very sensitive. The extendable plug is very fragile, and mine has already been snapped into a sharp angle. Because of this, the device is often not recognizable by computers and needs to be held at a very specific angle to work.

These things sure start out great. It is fast, nice capacity, and powered by the USB port. It runs quietly when it works. Unfortunately it quit working after 8 months. I use this external hard drive to back up my wife's work. It is a critical business device. It turned out to be a bad decision.

The hard disk is great, very fast with the USB3 and its backwards compatible Good and seems well made. Only thing stopping it getting 5 star is the connector on the device end of the cable.

I have had wonderful luck with the Verbatim 8 GB flash drive. But this 64 GB drive failed within 48 hours of my purchase. Very disappointing. If you purchase this drive; back-up all our data at least twice per day on your hard drive in case it fails.

The Verbatim Store 'n' Go is a basic portable hard drive that offers plenty of extra storage space, password protection and a stellar, unmatched warranty. However, the device is far from the best external hard drive on our lineup.

The Verbatim Store 'n' Go boasts a stellar seven-year warranty and convenient portability

This external hard drive doesn't have as many storage capacity options as others

As one of the most recognizable names in the storage industry, Verbatim doesn't need much of an introduction. Since its founding as Information Terminals Corporation in 1969, the company has been at the forefront in the development of data storage technology.

Since 1969, Verbatim has been providing innovative data storage solutions, and to this day they remain one of the most known names in the industry. Verbatim recently announced a series of portable hard drives called the Store 'n' Go.
