Fits my HP external hard drive and power cable well. I can also store a few thumb drives in there as well. Is very sturdy.

As with most peripherals, just watch for them to go on sale. You can get a 5TB drive for the price of a 1 TB SSD drive if you're lucky. Ultimately, SSD's will come down in price and replace these, but not for a while. If you want lots of storage in a small unit, this is it.The drive comes with a utility to allow you to encrypt the hard drive so that it can't be accessed if stolen. I found out the hard way that data recovery software won't recover deleted files even if I know the encryption password. Maybe that's a good thing. The encryption utility is for Windows/MAC only I think. It comes with some backup utilities that I ignored. The connection cable is short which is fine for a laptop but a bit short for a tower unit.

I use my syncwire to play audiobooks from library to my car stereo. Great investment. Now I can listen to books while I drive.

I drive for work and this has made everything so much easier for me! Works great for my iPhone 13 and you can have it plugged in too

This micro thumb drive works great! I bought a couple of other brand drives and they were so much worse I went back and bought this drive again. I recommend this drive to anybody.

With laptops now having ssd drives, having over 500gb ssd drives installed in a laptop can be costly. The pros to ssd is its fast, cons is limited storage. This is why having an external portable drive is NEEDED.As a college student and a film maker, I need as much space as possible. I own a macbook pro 256 gb ssd and that is not enough space for music, photos and videos.I purchased the 2 tb version and I still only have about 120 gb of available space. I carry this daily and use it as my main drive. Anytime I have videos on my laptop, I immediately transfer them to my external drive. Videos can chew up space fast.If you are a photographer or a film maker this is needed.Students this is also great to save all your school work and etc if you have a small ssd drive on your laptop.I suggest getting 2. One as a main drive and one to backup the main external drive.The speed of 3.0 is fast, I love it and is much faster than 2.0I only use WD drives now. I have a Toshiba external drive for my movies but it doesn't have password encryption, so I never purchased those again. WD can easily be formatted for macs, so no need of getting a mac version.I plan on buying a newer version for solely backups.The main con for me is this drive is pretty thick and has a bit of weight to it. The newer version appears to be slimmer. Although it is thick, it is still very portable. Another con is the cord, I wish it was a bit longer, but its works pretty well.When purchasing a new laptop especially a macbook with an ssd drive, be sure to add one of these, because your space will be limited.

The KOOTION 64 GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive is a very nice drive for the price. I scanned the drive and it had no malicious files according to Norton Antivirus. I transferred a 1 GB file from my computers’ USB 3.0 port to the thumb drive in 23 seconds, so not bad. The only faults I have are the drive is completely plastic and the slide up cover does not cover the end of the USB port. I guess at this price point you get what you pay for. Again, I think this is a very nice drive for the price.

With a larger storage capacity, there is a slight wait time if you are searching the drive for a file. There is also a one-second lag when you store a file. My last remote hard drive (40 GB) saved files very quickly but it had far less capacity. I had to train myself to pause for a second when I save files.The exterior case is sturdy. The cord detaches and can be replaced if it is ever damaged. The cord is short and rigid. I take the drive to work each day. I finally found the best way to plug it into my work computer and place the drive on the top of the CPU.
