Great Rugged Drive
Reviewed by Mason. Review Posted 01/05/2013
A friend gave me one of these Rugged for my birthday recently, and surprisingly, I'm finding a myriad of uses for it! Transporting music back and forth to work, backing up files, etc. The speeds are excellent. It's so rugged that I don't have to worry too much about damaging it when carrying it around in my bag.

Excellent portable drive
Reviewed by Shay. Review Posted 26/03/2013
I've had lots of external drives in the past and none can stand up to the treatment that this hard drive can. I'm a video editor and I happen to travel a lot, so the rugged design is a definite plus for me. The speeds are great with USB3.

Reviewed by Maia. Review Posted 17/03/2013
This drive definitely falls into the 'value for money' category for me. It does exactly what I need and more. I've taken advantage of the cloud storage that comes with the drive for my most critical information and use this drive to store my pictures and music when I'm travelling.

Rugged and reliable
Reviewed by Kianna. Review Posted 29/01/2013
I was looking for a reliable drive that wouldn't break or get scratched up by the keys in my bag, and I think this Rugged is it. I've had it for a couple of months, been carrying it around in my camera case or in my laptop bag, and I haven't experienced any problems. It's a workhorse of a drive, despite its small size.

Great Rugged Drive
Reviewed by Harriet. Review Posted 19/12/2012
This is a very good drive. It's portable, powered by USB (so no need for extra cables) and it's rugged. The functionality is great, too - USB 3.0 is fast and the data can be encrypted. I particularly like the Wuala cloud service that comes bundled with the drive. It's very convenient for file sharing and backup.

Works well
Reviewed by Lane. Review Posted 12/12/2012
It's my first USB 3 drive, and I was a bit concerned at first whether I would work as well with older computers. And it does work, though not as fast as with USB 3. The USB 3 speed is amazing. My experience with this drive has been great so far. It's been a great buy and it meets all of my needs!

Reviewed by Brooklyn. Review Posted 24/11/2012
I use this drive for my music and video library, as well as for backup. It works very well, and it's pretty rugged. It gives additional peace of mind knowing that it can actually take the everyday knocks that intense usage brings along.

Excellent value
Reviewed by Ryland. Review Posted 11/11/2012
I love the software that comes with this drive. While I bought the 500 GB version, I also get 10 GB of cloud storage. This is perfect for me. My most valuable files that I must always have access to are now stored on the cloud and the rest of my day to day data is on the drive.

Very handy
Reviewed by Dennis. Review Posted 27/10/2012
I use this drive for media in my house and when I travel. I put videos on it from my computer and then I plug it into the TV media player. It's perfect for that. It's also pretty handy when I'm on trips for watching stuff on my laptop and for backups.
