              I own one of these for over a year now and it had never disappointed me. This light, portable hd works with MAC & PC which was a big plus for me. I didn't think twice to buy another one due to it's reliable performance. I got lucky with my first purchase because it was on clearance at another store. This is worth buying when it goes on sale.
