i have had no problems with these backup tapes. I think backup tapes will make a comeback!

Very high quality case, but inserting this drive into any standard USB port scratches the finish.  Transfer rates 4 times faster than Silicone Power's Firma ZN F80 drive.  I use this drive as a data only back-up (in addition to a standard back-up drive) and, to date, it has functioned very well.  After 1 hour in the USB port, this drive remains cool to touch.

Update: I've had two of these drives for over a year and still have no issues.  Earlier this week, I left one of these in my jeans pocket and it went through the wash.  I let it dry out for two days and it still works - no loss of the data stored on it.  I plan to purchase a pair of the 64GB versions.

I have several of these for my laptops when I hook up several external hard drives. This prevents battery drain and also prevents under volting a unit and losing files. This was the 3rd one I bought and even if one breaks I will buy again but I still have the first one I bought over a year and a half ago  and its going strong. Highly recommended. High transfer speeds and high quality.

We have lots of luck with Trend Micro.  Knock on wood... all our private data remains safe.  I recommend this product.

Metal, durable ...oh and it stores data!  This one is built right.

I like this product as much as past Lexar cards I have purchased. I feel confident that my data is safe, and being captured beautifully. As a professional photographer, I really don't like shooting any other brand of card.

This is a very solid, efficiently designed and robust device, and very reasonably priced for the exceptional reliability it delivers. It is able to detect alpha, beta and gamma radiation, clearly displays counts per minute (CPM) and allows for timed data collection. I greatly appreciate the confidence it ensures for me and family, to know what invisible dangers we face at home and in our daily environment. To navigate a world with increasing radioactive contamination from the Fukushima disaster, as well as other sites of ongoing nuclear risk, requires that we start learning how to measure what we need to avoid. Purchasing an Inspector Alert V2 was a smart first step, trustworthy and user friendly.

I work on ancestry and have hundreds of documents and pictures.  I have also scanned all our photo albums, my children's baby pictures.  I worried about unexpectedly losing all our pictures and important documents.  I have backed everything up on Flash drives, even putting one in the safe deposit box.  It gives me peace of mind knowing that all my pictures and important documents are safe. It holds massive amounts of data and loads quickly.  Great Product!

Made in Japan, you don't really see that very often with low - mid range electronics these days. I own three of these and they all work great. The included software is a must but it's a breeze to install (contains a bit of Engrish). The size is of no issue for me but I could definitely see that being an issue for tiny HTPCs or laptops.

For under $20, I don't think you could get a better USB Wi - Fi adapter.

I've had two WRT54Gs running for nearly 5 years now -- one at home in San Jose and one at my in-law's house in Japan (where my jet lagged self is currently sat).  They just work.  DD-WRT (and the like) turns it into something more and better.  I have used the router in Japan for all sorts of testing and personal projects.  They may not support 'n', but they're rock solid and just plain work.

One kind of cool story involving the Japan router...

After the 2011 T'hoku earthquake and tsunami, no one could get a hold of my father-in-law.  All sorts of incorrect reports were floating around and the phone system was blowing up, so you can imagine we were worried.  We knew he was at home alone, but had no idea if he was safe or the state of the house.  On top of that, no family was close to his location -- sister-in-law was 90 minutes away in Tokyo; mother-in-law was in the woods in New Zealand; etc.  From my home in San Jose, I was able to quickly calm nerves by guaranteeing there was power by pinging and SSHing into the router at their house.  A quick 'uptime' command additionally proved there was never even a power loss.

The excellent part about this flash drive is you can use you finger prints to lock or unlock it. And for more security you may have password as well. All your important data could be store here very safely with ultra security system. You will love this product once you start using it.

It's hard to believe that 20 years ago my entire computer only had a 200 MB hard drive! This holds everything I have on my computers, plus my entire video library. But the best thing about WD Passports is the security. I don't have to put files in any special folder. Once I've set it up, when I plug in my passport, the entire drive is encrypted but will open without a password once I've input it once on that device (if I choose to go that route; otherwise, you can just key in the password every time).

I have 4 WD Passports bought over the past 3 years, and I've never had one fail, though I've maxed them out. Still--safety first. I back up everything on TWO separate external drives (yes, I did have both my PC hard drive and an external drive both crash, and a friend lost years of work when that happened; I only lost a month's work).

There are so many external drives out there, but after having bought about every brand there is, I stick to WD because it's reliable and I love the encryption--and that is about all I need.

It stores data and the casing is solid. ...does what it should

worked perfectly in Japan and Hong Kong.  Having 2 USB ports was extremely useful!

Perfect for storing every type of data. I personally use it for my LR photo library while on the road and as a separate back up unit. Only minor imperfection is cable unnecessarily too long (and haven't been able to find a suitable, shorter replacement so far).

Truly impressive. Great product. No loss of data at all. Sturdy connectors, fits and holds tightly.

I love it.  It works.  Its been working perfectly a long time now.  I love that it has 2 extra usb3 ports on it and I can chain off more drives.

I do not use any of the software or services (cloud etc) that it came with.  I highly recommend you dump that part and never use that.  Why keep your prosonal or business data copied onto a computer that is someone elses, such as their company.  Why do that?  It feels like a violation of good sense and privacy and security.  Why not just buy 2 of these and make backup copies yourself.  Keep one copy at another building maybe.  lol.  ok but I do love this drive.  I recommend the hard drive. Notice the 5 stars I gave it.
