I had to go through a lot to get my content back but heed warning, for the same price you can do a lot better. hint hint G-drive....best I've ever used, and that coming from a decade of experience.

    Robust but not enough

    Great Portable Drive!

    • Written by

    This Porsche drive is very convenient - it's very compact, light and fast. USB 3.0 speed is significantly faster than USB 2.0. The drive is great for backups and copying large files. It looks great, and thanks to the metal casing, it doesn't get scratched up in my bag. I love it! More
