Customer Reviews

Absolutely brilliant!
My oldish PC (which runs XP) was really struggling as it was full to the gills with stuff, and I bought this to free up the hard drive. I have a load of photos and music on the PC now, although it was originally used just for Word and Excel documents.

Despite the reviews on here, I really doubted that the PC would be able to cope with an external hard drive.

But as soon as I connected it, it immediately recognised it, and I've had no trouble at all moving files over via Windows Explorer (I found it easiest to drag and drop, and then delete the files from the PC - cutting and pasting sometimes caused error messages to say a file was in use elsewhere).

It is all taking quite a while, but mainly due to the sheer volume of stuff I have to transfer.

Basically I'm delighted - so far!

I'm not too worried about the (surely very slight) risk of this hard drive failing as all my stuff is backed up on Carbonite anyway - I bought this solely to free up my PC but still have easy access to what is on it, which this does perfectly :)

I must also praise Amazon's Prime free trial - I ordered this product at 4.45pm one afternoon, and it arrived by Royal Mail at 9.30am the following morning - amazing!!!

help with key code request
great kit but I need key code to keep operating...its not on the box as is usual! Help anyone? Would have rate higher otherwise.

Superb!
Bought this quite awhile ago (several months back) and still using it. So far no problem at all. First of all, I don't need the software that comes with the harddisk, so I just format the entire disk with NTFS. The reason being that it will store longer file/folder name and bigger filesize limit. Apart from that, it's rock solid and relatively cheap comparing to other external USB drives. The HDD inside is a Maxtor.
