Lightning fast file copying
583470
This is an awesome USB/flash drive.  Definitely the fastest file-copying I've experienced using one of these portable flash drives.

I also purchased an HP 16GB drive (HP v165 16 GB USB Flash Drive P-FD16GHP165-AZ) and copied 1.7 GB of data onto each.  I'm pretty lazy, so I didn't actually time it, but the ADATA drive was at least twice as fast.  Both flash drives seemed to be pretty quick compared to others I've used, but this ADATA thing is lightning fast.  I'm really impressed with it.

The only downsides are that it seems a bit larger than most flash drives I've had, and it has a removable cap (which I tend to lose) rather than a built-in cover.  Despite that, I still gave this guy 5 stars because I'm so impressed with the copy speed.

I don't really know anything about the ADATA brand though, and I've never owned anything from them previously.  We'll see about durability!  If anything significant comes up quality-wise, I will update this review.

These drives are super fast!  Great for copying large files like videos, photo libraries and music libraries.  Also if you have large backups like SQL databases it's a great quick backup and restore tool.

Super simple to use - worked flawlessly.  You essentially select which drive you want to copy, where you want to copy to, and hit go.  Did not ship with a disk but googling ez gig iv will get you the correct software.  It took a few hours to transfer but that was due to older USB ports on my laptop.  Great product - very pleased.

Super fast. Purchased to store photos and it literally took seconds to store 100's of photos. Old drive would take 30-50s to perform the same task. Highly recommend!

I effected a quick clone of my SSD boot drive with this gadget. It was much faster than with the USB 2.0 cable I previously used. This was in a Win 10 Dell environment.

This is a very nice USB 3 drive. I use it on both my Windows 7 PCs and also my Chromebooks, and it seamlessly works on all. Moving files is a cinch. It is very fast, as one would expect.

I plugged it into my Synology NAS, and it was recognized straight away. I'll need to spend some time over the holidays to get the NAS share drive running, but I bet it will be easy as it already recognized (I just need the time, and work is busy)

I've had the drive for a few months now, and it has worked flawlessly. I look forward to taking this drive on my overseas travels, and backing up my photos as well as storing copies of my friends photos.

basically, copying very large files to it, Windows 8.1 reports about 100/sec consistently, whereas other USB 3 devices on the same machine seem to range from slow 30 to ok 65/sec.  If you are considering the Sandisk extreme pro cz88, my experience is that it writes very large files typically faster at 200/sec (just informal Win 8.1, not any speed testing app). I would imagine small files could differ and better test procedures would potentially have different results.

I had an older 64GB drive from a different vendor.  It was infuriating as it would take a long time to copy a 1-3GB file, but then take two to three times as long sitting at "5 seconds left".  I basically used it to copy large media files from my computer to my TV which had a USB port on the side.  I confirmed I had my USB 3.0 drivers updated, plugged it into the "blue" front USB ports, was completely amazed.  Very large files copied in tens of seconds instead of minutes and when the progress bar said they were done, they were done.  The larger drives aren't worth the premiums.  The smaller drives are just as expensive.  If you have a USB 3.0 port on your computer, this is the best value out there.

Saves files very quickly and works on all the PC's and cell phone I've used it for

This device is amazingly easy to use to one-at-a-time migrate individual applications or files.  I would have appreciated a method of migrating the whole content of the old hard drive to the new computer.

Its perfect. Fast and easy to use. Just get rid of the long file names when uploding to drives.

I've owned my Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB FireWire 800 drive for 6 months now, and couldn't be happier. Yes, you pay quite a premium for the "Mac" version of this drive. But it's not a simple rebranding of their Windows drives (which look similar). For the extra $$ you get a FireWire 800 port which is absolutely lightning-fast. If you have a FireWire 800 port on your laptop, or desktop, the difference in price is worth every penny.

Consider this - being able to copy 6GB of data in less than 2 minutes. With the USB 2.0 connection on this drive, the same process takes over 3 minutes, almost twice as long. And compared to other USB 2.0 drives I own, the Seagate FreeAgent Go for Mac is up to 4x faster. That is worth the price!

And as an added bonus, with FireWire 800 you only need one cable for data and power - no extra power adapter or 2nd USB cable for power. However, with this drive's high performance you'll need a separate power cable or USB cable for power if you're using only the USB 2.0 connector.

The drive is nicely packaged, including a real leather sleeve that keeps the ports exposed for easy access, and a FireWire 800 dock which I find very handy for my MacPro at home.

This thing is FAST!! And with the 32GB I was able to use it to quickly and easily transfer hundreds of photos from my desktop to my laptop in merely minutes plus I had plenty of space left over! I didn't have to anything at all once I got it, just plug it in and go! This is perfect for any application you want to use it for, transferring files, songs, videos, or pictures.  I have used it to do quick backups of really important files & records too!

Excellent; fast USB and easy to use. Great for storing those old files. I wouldn't leave it on all the time though as there is no cooling for the drive. Great for backing up to a bare SATA drive you may have.

Unit is very easy to use and you can secure files at a very good price. Speed is a factor but if you don't transfer large files all the time it is no big deal no differnet then transferring files accrossed any lan there is a delay. I would recommend this product very easy to use and works well a good way to backup files.

I used this device to copy my entire hard drive from a circa 1997 HP desktop computer. It fired right up, my windows 7 computer recognized it instantly, and it only took a few minutes to copy about a half gig of data.
