Highlights

Quality

It hasn't failed me in two years, feels sturdy, and the brushed metal is really attractive.

This unit was simple and easy to set up, fast transfer, and very small footprint on a cluttered computer station.

The instructional vids included on the device are low quality, almost unwatchable.

With a very slim form factor, this external hard drive couldn't be more portable.

Price

I bought this hdd to use it as back up for my mba, good price, so far i used it few times and is ok

Shipping

It got here very fast and has been working great ever since.

It took about 15 minutes to retrieve everything i needed.

Packaging/appearance

Easily stored in a safe deposit box for that ultimate disaster backup.

I bough it for my sister because she want very slim one so when i gave it to her she was glad and happy :)))))))))))))

Competitiveness

I know what my next brand of hard drives will be , no doubt think seagate!

Thunderbolt drives are the fastest, but this drive isn't compatible with seagate's thunderbolt adapter.

It is better than toshiba hard drive slim.

Some (older, perhaps) seagate drives may have this problem.
