Needed a small size but big capacity HDD (1TB) with some capacity to backup several computers. This seemed to do the job and was a good price for the spec. I assumed it would be a cheap Chinese item but was prepared for this and if it lasts a couple of years then its worth it. It arrived quickly and I did several image files and backups to it. Probably not the fastest HDD in the world but for a backup system its just perfect. 2 x USB to 1 x Mini USB cable came with it, I assume to help speed transfer and to make sure enough power is available from the 2 USB ports although it seemed to work OK with just one connected. I took a peep inside the case and the drive was marked WD which I assume is Western Digital? The whole lot comes with its own small vinyl pouch to protect from dust and scratches (it wont help you if you drop it!) Overall, so far very impressed, time will tell if it keeps working.Read full review

Bought one of these over a year ago to use on my smart t.v. Never had an issue with it. Transfer speed is good. Never lost data or had errors, it just quietly sits there and does it's job. The casing is stylish and overall the drive is extremely light. I was so impressed with this drive, it was the first stop when I wanted another to store my karaoke albums on. Again, a flawless product has arrived. *****

I don't often write reviews but I thought this deserved one . Okay so 1TB isn't that much space nowadays, USB 2.0 is old hat and you can get much cheaper unbranded drives so why was I impressed enough to write a review ? I wasn't going to get this drive but I read some reviews which were glowing about it working for smart TV when others wouldn't and another which said it had a WD drive in and not some anonymous bit of tin. This told me the firmware and hardware was good and mine had a Seagate drive inside. it is slim, discreet and quiet with a nice braided cable and so far has been perfect for my needs . A USB was no good for my requirements as I wanted to set up multiple portable Linux systems ready for the customer conversions I will be doing when W7 dies in the New Year. A USB stick has a very limited life cycle in these circumstances but I am confident this little drive will do just what I want . I have no connection at all with the seller .Read full review

Had load of problems/issues with 2017 LG 4K Smart TV recording to supposedly compatible USB Flash Drive. Long story short - LG lied, their sets don't record properly to USB Flash Drives! So asked LG for advice - nothing useful given. Asked on WebOS forum and kind member advised simple USB 2.0 hard drive (yes I know it is very old format). So found this one and took the chance as reviews were good and supplier seemed genuine. HDD arrived next day! Brilliant. Checked it out on Windows 10 PC, no faults. Changed Volume Name and shoved it in the back of the LG. Works first time, no problems did not even need to be formatted by the TV. Ran number of test recordings, live playback, time machine etc. all working faultlessly. Very pleased with this for my purposes so far another bonus is it is totaly silent as far as my old ears can detect with only sight issue being the connected blue drive light is quite bright but not really an issue. Would definitely recommend for LG TV recording or even PC backup.Read full review

Speedy delivery, well packed and as described. Comes with a USB cable, instructions and a carrying pouch. I've never owned a 1tb external hard drive before so this product at this price was a revelation. My Smart set top box USB 2.0 socket powers the drive and enables the copying and playback of recorded programmes to/from this drive. So even if the set top box itself breaks down I can still have my favourite programmes and films on the external drive. Probably best to physically isolate the drive from the set top box to avoid overheating but it seemed OK just placed on top. It would have been nice to have a colour choice as the details suggest is possible.
