Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Worked like a charm for 3 years

Bought one at Adorama in 2013, been using it heavy for various projects, mostly video. Proved itself very reliable and fast. As far as there's not so many options with Thunderbolt, was very useful for Macbook Pro, which got limited USB ports. The only complaint - no extra thunderbolt port, which could let me using them stacked one after one, like earlier firewire disks.

Crashed in the first 2 hours. BEWARE

I Bought this locally because there were no other options. My mistake, crashed in the first 2 hours of use after traveling with it with important files. DON't BUY IT. Wait for a reliable company to start making reliable Portable thunderbolt drives. Total garbage. I gave it one star cause I can't give it zero.
