Don't put any files you don't want to lose on this unit
Purchased March 9 - loaded it up with documents to take with me for a month long trip in April so I could work on my laptop with files saved from my desktop PC. The drive stopped working when it was only 30 days old on April 9. Apparently this is a common issue for this unit because when I Googled how to fix it there were hundreds of pages on the subject. I'm now back in my office and was hoping that when I plugged it in to the desktop PC it might suddenly begin working - that maybe the issue was with my laptop port - no such luck - the lights don't even come on and I cannot access the files at all or even follow some of the fixes, like: rename the drive letter, reinstall the o/s, reformat the drive. And, oh by the way, the last return date was April 9! The same day it stopped working!
