Nothing to dislike about this product. Take it out of the box, attach it to your desktop (for me, MacMini) via the USB cable provided, plug it in with the power cord that comes with it, and voila … it works! I also highly recommend Adorama. I received this product around 36 hours after ordering it.

Have not had much time to spare on the new External R/W Drive. I used it load my wireless printer and to load a Microsoft Word, 2007 program which I had one license left. It was simple to do with this fast drive.
