5 out of 5 stars Good Buy   November 18, 2008
Edwin Valentin
Works just as good as advertised. I was able to back everything up with no problems.


4 out of 5 stars Well worth the extra cost of a hard drive.   November 11, 2008

I knew going in that I could find a normal external hard drive for less but if you have a HP that has the personal media drive bay, this is the way to go.
Just slides in and works with no problems.
They're a little hard to find in the normal electronic box stores so you can't beat Amazon.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent Drive. So Easy.   October 30, 2008

I rarely write reviews but I am so happy with this product. It is the easiest to use. No disks or having to load software. Just plug it in and it is ready to go. The price is not bad either. I was expecting to have some sort of problem or glitch but really there was nothing. Very fast transfer. In case you are wondering, it works with Windows Vista.

i haven't tried other ext media drive but this one works, if you have a notebook with a small hard drive like i do, this certainly helps with picture & music storage or as a back-up.
