Simple and effective
I’m so glad I got this item as it was a gift. At 1st I thought it was lost or stolen (purchased around Christmas time), but it eventually arrived intact. It is simple, reliable, has tons of storage for movies, audio files, pictures and more. It is handy, not too big – it’s a compact design. Price point is great value for money. No software needed, very practical.

Works with both mac and windows
Small portable size and easy to install. To use with mac or windows format it before use to exFAT or FAT 32. Then just drag and drop. Only comes with USB cord so if you need USB-C you will need to have an adapter because you have to use the cord that comes with it. It’s compatable with both mac and windows after properly formatting. Great value for the space compared to other brands. Works well with no issues. I store my ebooks on it to save space on my devices.

Works great!
Got this for my xbox, worked immediately and I am able to store all kinds of games now thanks to this handy little bad boy! It’s small sleek design makes it easy to transport if needed, can easily fit in your pockets or purse. Great price as well! I had gotten one of these a few years ago and back then they were way more expensive and did not last all that long so I am incredibly happy with this so far!

Works great for gaming
I bought two of these. One I use to take my movies and music catalog with me when I travel. The other I use for gaming. Been using it for well over two years now. It’s great for storing and playing games. I’ve had zero issues with it. The cable is a bit touchy, so I ended up replacing it with a much nicer one, but since that’s not a big deal I didn’t deduct points. The slim, lightweight design means it travels well. I highly recommend using a strip of adhesive Velcro to keep it in place and prevent it from getting knocked off your desk or whatever. Whether you use it for saving photos, video, music, or games, this is a great external storage device.
