Pros & Cons
Pros
It's portable, light, very quiet and doesn't run on mains supply. It connects to a pc or laptop via usb 3. It is quiet and it connects fine to my raspberry pi mini computer.
Cons
Drive not used much. Therefore warranty is useless.
Lasted nearly 5 months before packing up. Even after reformat, completely dead. None of the files are recoverable unless i pay huge amounts of money. Lost a bunch of valuable data because of this shoddily made *.
Tried swapping the usb3 cable from a working drive. The hd keeps clicking without being recognised by the laptop. The fault is the port/terminal in the drive itself - it is too delicate.
Just makes a weird mechanical noise like it starts reading and gives up. Just beeps and makes a whirring noise.
Highlights
Quality
I am very happy with the purchase i've made and i have even bought a second one as they work great!
Easy to set up and good quality.

Worked well for backing up on mac however it all of a sudden stopped being recognized by my mac book i think this is more to do with the mac operating system being upgraded and them overlooking something with certain drivers because when i tried it with my windows pc device it was recognized fine
