A good sizable external 2.5 drive. Feels solid in the hand (though it isn't really heavy), even if that does mean it's a bit thicker than what I had expected.
I suppose I don't have anything new to add—just further endorsement. It's small, fast, and quiet. I use it on a mac, sometimes plugged in directly, but more commonly plugged into an Airport Extreme wireless router, (on a non-powered hub). It comes with software, which you can use to adjust the sleep period—(though Airport Extreme's override this, I believe).
I am using this drive for my Wii backups, so far I've collected a large number of games, and the drive responds to the Wii access without fail every time. When transferring from my desktop over USB 3.0, the speeds are amazing. I will buy again!

At 2tb, it has the highest capacity among portable drives. It's surprisingly small too, smaller than the 1.5tb Seagate portable drive I have. The usb 3.0 is fast too. Once u've used usb 3.0, you'll never want to go back to usb 2.0.

Good storage capacity for this size of hard drive. Use one usb connection to power the drive without the use of external power adapter. Unfortunately, the drive inside has custom connection and not compatible with laptop/desktop computer. Transfer speed is surprisingly not bad. A 3.47GB takes about 30s.

Not that many choices to choose from if you want a large 2TB portable HD. price is reasonable for this size. the HD is quite easy to use, just like all other ones. Plug it in and that's it. It runs very quiet but feel warmer in touch compare to other. The physical size is a bit thicker. Come with a short USB cable.
