### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long lasting and reliable!
*by E***N on January 16, 2018*

I couldn't find this hard drive for 2+ years after relocating it somewhere in my house during one particular spring cleaning. I eventually forgot about it and a couple days ago realized that I really needed the hard drive because as an avid music listener, there are instances where a favorite song of yours is no longer available anywhere on the internet and you want to share it with your friends. I was freaking out because most of my songs were on a Lexar USB, and those are the worst to use, and I for some of them I had to call it quits because my laptop would not recognize them or the usb port itself was heavily damaged and did not want to plug in to my laptop. I found this is my parent's room somehow and plugged it in, and thank God it actually worked and still contained the 100+ GB of media content. Unlike most of the users here who give bad reviews in terms of long-lasting power, I don't use this hard drive on a daily basis, nor do I plug this into my laptop a million times per day. I don't toss it around or yank the cable when I'm done with it. My house accumulates a lot of dust on a daily basis thanks to the million acorn trees around my property, so I make sure to store it in a non-mesh storage bag with plenty of padding in case I happen to accidentally drop it. You're not supposed to use and abuse this hard drive, treat it like a newborn baby! I haven't even come close to using 150 GB of the 1TB my hard drive came with, I can see this lasting a long time! I love that it is super light and portable, you DON'T need to be those people that carry around those heavy hard drives with them. Save yourself the money and sore arm and purchase this!
