Good drive at a great price!

This drive works very well for backing up our files and photos. The access speed seems very good for my needs and the compact size is very handy.

Easy To Use

These are easy to take with you and use to store whatever you need to store. They do not require any software or external power source, just connect it to your computer and you are ready to roll.

Like having a cargo van not an SUV

SO you have movies you want to put in a safe place with easy access, so you can get them off your hard drive. This is the storage space to do so. Fast, efficient, and has plenty of room. If a flash drive is an SUV, this storage space is a big cargo van.
