4 out of 5 stars Hard Drive   November 22, 2008
Lilly Jo (Leeds, UK)
Good little sized HD. Does what the packet says, but be careful it MUST be plugged straight into the computer and not via a non powered USB hub. If the hub is powered its fine but otherwise you might find it wont work that well.

4 out of 5 stars Useful and great value for money   September 22, 2008

I've had this external hard drive for nearly a year now and I haven't had any problems with it. It connected easily to my laptop and then I just began dragging and dropping files into it. It's as simple as that. It's great value for money and it's got durability.
