The first thing you'll notice when you unpack this drive is the improper grammar used on the packaging, which indicates the drive was made in China.The second thing you'll notice is the unusual machine marks on the side of the drive, reminiscent of a product slapped together in a third world country.Even without plugging the drive in, you know you're in trouble by this point. But you hope that you're not like everyone else whose written a bad review of the product. Maybe I'll be different and mine will work.After you plug it in, it works and you breathe a sigh of relief. I did for all of 3 1/2 minutes. Then mine died. It won't power up again, either in the external drive case or the internal slot in my Dell.You'll be sorry if you buy this drive. You won't be different. You'll own a brick like the rest of us.Hey, but some people only learn by experience (myself included).
