Not Quite So Great: Has Connection Problems
I was disappointed with this for two reasons. I didn't so much mind the protection software on here. You just have to wait for it to cue up and then type in your password. More >>

Don't buy it...
I won't recommend, this is a waste of money. I can't recover the data because the drive just stop to work.

I opened, and I found there is no SATA to USB connection, and only pins everywhere. More >>
