I first saw this product on an online shopping store when I was in definite need of an external hard disk.The price of the item was within my budget and also cashback was being offered on the product.I never gave a second thought after that and ended up buying the hard disk.It’s been almost 2 years and it is still working like the new one.Along with it’s great features this Transcend external hard disk also features cool looks and I would say that protective covering is also good.It is proving worth the money I spent on it.
