HP is the well knowm manufacturer of computer goods and I have a desktop also.HP is a big brand and thats why I bought this external hard disk because I thought that it will run fine.But after using this product for 1month the hard disk started problem and the problem is sometime it not connect to my desktop.I changed the usb cable but problem not solved then I visit nearest hp service center and they told that there is a problem in hard disk.Very important documents are there in my harddisk and just using it for 1month I have to give it for repair.i am very frustated and unhappy with this product.The hard disk looks good in design but the performance is very poor.i never trust a brand like hp in future.
