Review: Well made, easy to use - Good quality, works well. registration for warranty took 2 mins.
Review: Decent Storage with Good Warranty, But Pricey and Slow - I recently purchased this 1TB hard disk which is light weight. My main reservation is the high cost; I feel the price should be lower for what it offers. As I anticipated, the transfer speeds are quite slow, so it's not ideal for frequent, large transfers. On the positive side, it comes with a generous warranty period, which provides some peace of mind. Crucially, I believe it's safe to store important files on it, which is the primary purpose of a hard drive. Overall, I'd say it's an okay product for bulk storage, provided you're aware of the slower speeds and higher price point.

## Features

- Get an extra layer of protection for your data with the included 3 year Rescue Data Recovery Services.
- Sleek and simple portable drive design for taking photos, movies, music, and more on-the-go
- Automatic recognition of Windows and Mac computers for simple setup (Reformatting required for use with Time Machine)
- Drag-and-drop file saving
- Actual storage capacity may vary due to differences between decimal and binary calculations.
