Review : Fast and easy to use
I purchased two of these, one to have at home and one to leave an alternate location. At this price seems very good value and the storage space is cavernous. Hardware encryption was easy, you just set a password and the drive folder won't open when you next plug it in unless you have the password. This item does not power on from USB, you have to use the power pack too (supplied). Comes with a USB 3 cable which can be used in any USB port (USB 1, 2, or USB 3, whatever). Using USB 3 it was very fast and so far reliable (my other USB 3 drive from _another manufacturer_ keeps losing its connection on my ASUS laptop which was driving me mad). So it's reliable, fast, easy to use and nice enough looking and the only downside is that this beast - albeit relatively small - needs external power.
