not reliable for long term use, i bought this about a year ago and it worked fine every time i used it till it suddenly died on me today and was totally unrecognizable by the laptop (could not format or erase or repair it using the dick utility app on mac) so i am searching for a better quality brand now

Excellent quality

Top notch speed, small and cute - and a good quality drive (made by the one and only Gdrive) - which equals perfect!!

Great product, great quality.

I bought two of these as they look great and feel quite robust, but from my experience aren't that good if you're using them on a daily basis with repeated plug and unplugs - they worked great at first, but the SATA card (that's the component that links the hard drive to the power/data transfer port that your USB lead plugs into) is very poor quality and failed after just over a year

The cable fits securely into the drive, itself, as well as into the USB port on my new MacBook Pro.

and 1T!!!!Also they've been really reliable to me -- all HD's
