Bottom line: good hardware bundled with one of the lamest vendor-supplied backup utility programs I've seen (and the bar is set low for this category of software!)So: *after* uninstalling the non-functional backup software from my computer and deleting those files from the otherwise empty hard drive, I tested the hardware. Window 7 recognized it immediately, and using my existing non-Hitachi backup software, it was reading and writing data without problems right away.PROS:-nice sleek appearance.-USB bus powered, so no external power adapter or cord.-small form factor; slightly larger and thicker than a smart phone.-Quiet operation.CONS:-Bundled backup software didn't work, and is equally dedicated to to selling Hitachi cloud storage services as it is to backing up your data. Excruciating details are addressed separately below.After a short period of ownership, I can't address the long term reliability, but Hitachi drives enjoy a good reputation. This one has a two-year warranty, which is hard to find in these days when the industry standard is one year.Now, about that software, which is flawed enough to cost this drive a star...mostly for the hubris of Hitachi in considering this anything other than a beta release:Hitachi's backup utility ("Hitachi Backup"...the boys in marketing didn't waste much creative juice thinking of this name) was included on this drive. Many external hard drive vendors do the same thing; I haven't found one worth keeping yet, and Hitachi has not changed my mind with theirs. Even worse than offering limited user options ("Automatic" and "Scheduled"...with the latter being selectable only in 15 minute increments, and no apparent manual/on-demand option) are these other two glaring faults:(1) after setting a backup time under the "Scheduled" option, the user interface backup status indicator switched from "ON" to "OFF"...and would not switch back. And it most certainly did NOT start copying any files when the designated time arrived. This was accompanied by a yellow warning sign indicating that backup was disabled. In the words of Tina Fey on "30 Rock": "what the what?" Apparently the software also has a "restore" function as an adjunct to "backup"...but of course, I couldn't try it without backed up data.-half of the backup user interface is devoted to upselling Hitachi cloud storage services. You get 3GB at no charge by registering; after that, you can buy upgrades at $49/year for 250GB. I didn't register to test this, but hope it works better than the local backup utility. You can register a domain name from many web hosts and get unlimited storage (or nearly so, depending on their terms of service) for about the same price. It's not a competitive price, and I'm not sure it would work given the issues with the software managing a local backup.Do yourself a favor: delete these files from the drive the first time you connect it, and stick with your current back-up method (or use the one bundled with your operating system...or just do a copy/paste when you get paranoid about data loss...any of these approaches will work better than this software).

I was in the market for a portable external and was not sure what to get. When I was offered to try this one, I jumped at the chance. Well, it plugged right into the computer with no problem. The drive is very fast to access the information. And finally, the size is perfect; not much bigger than my iphone. I can not speak to its durability yet since I have only had it a couple of weeks, however, it seems well built.Overall, I think this drive speaks for itself on its specs but after testing it, I think it is the perfect drive to use for an external source.

I consistently get very high transfer rates! The model I received was in a matte finish, kind of a classy matte. I have not seen anything else with a matte like this, maybe I'm overly impressed but I really like it. The drive works well with USB 2.0 but it really rocks if your computer supports 3.0.Its simple, just plain works and works fast!
