Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This has worked out perfectly for me! I have a laptop with an awfully lot of pictures on it. Unfortunately some seem to be duplicates and there are so many different folders and pictures it would be very hard to organize them all and remove duplicates. While my laptop is running fine, it is getting older and will have to be replaced sometime. I didn't want to lose all my pictures so I have been trying to save them on memory sticks. The transfer rate was very slow with memory sticks. When I received this hard drive, I turned off my computer completely, plugged in the hard drive, and then started up the computer. The computer accepted the hard drive and loaded all the drivers very quickly. I started copying my picture files to the external drive and couldn't believe how fast the transfer rate was. I now have all my photos and some video clips on this external hard drive. Perhaps in the future I will be able to organize them better and eliminate any duplicates but, for now, everything is safe on my new external hard drive. I highly recommend this hard drive for everyone.
