Durable, hopefully my husband won't break this one, he had a different one that wasn't durable.

Awful, avoid at all costs
Garbage. Just like others have said, in time you will lose your data. Nowadays I can't keep it connected for more than 10 minutes before it disconnects itself and enters a loop of connecting/disconnecting until I unplug it for more hours.

failed and cannot repair
DO NOT BUY! FAILED AND CANNOT FIX.
I was using this as my backup for my computer, then one day I went to backup my computer and nothing came up. I tried it on windows, iPad and even my android phone. All nothing. I've barely used it and have always taken care of it

Reliability Is Worrisome
Purchased a 4tb SanDisk Extreme and partitioned it into 2-2tb. Within a year, I was unable to access the Primary partition and if not for my recovery software, I would have lost my entire home video collection. The technology for SSD long-term but frequently accessed files just isn't there yet for consumers to put their trust in. Although fast and easily recognized by ...

There's a reason it's always on sale
I had two of these both break within weeks of when I got them. They wouldn't work with any high speed USB cables. Both Windows and Mac wouldn't even recognize them unless they were connected with USB 2.0 cables, meaning the data transfer speeds were heavily capped. Took them multiple weeks to get me the first replacement, second time I was able to get an upgrade to the ...

Unseless
Locked out of my own data. The installed software will NOT launch, the driver the company refer to is NOWHERE to be found. They didn't fix ANYTHING, the "More" link right on this page alleging to address the issue doesn't work. No idea what to do next-this is a travesty. I would return but all my data is trapped in there.

My 1TB works well. Slower transfer than I expected, but it may be my older laptop capability. I am still using my 2TB WD My Book that I was going to replace. :-)

Must have gadget!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this item! It is a must have in your collection of technology. Not only is there so much storage, all your important files and pictures are stored in this small compartment. It’s not heavy or bulky.
