What was delivered was a perfectly packed genuine HDD, in sealed box. Offers standard 931 GB space. There is a HTML file inside, on clicking which you are taken to online product-registration. I registered and received 3 years (and 40 days) warranty.From the beginning, the USB cable gave trouble with the USB 3.0 port (HP laptop, Windows 8.1). OS didn't recognize the HDD. I tried one USB 2.0 port, and it was readily recognized. Confused, I retried the USB 3.0 port many times, and finally after lot of fiddling, it was recognized. Even now, every connection to 3.0 port is a lot of hassle - I have to plug/unplug for a while to get it connected. Must be some cable issue. Not sure if it's worth the trouble to run around for warranty cover on this - let's see.HDD is working fine otherwise. HDD is good and solid. Looks rather expensive. On 3.0 port, speed is about 30 MBPS or less. I transferred 250 GB - not much heating noticed. There's a very nice matte-feel cushy plastic cover - it certainly will not slip from your hand that easily. The data cable is longer than expected - over 18 inches including the sockets - that's over 1.5 foot! This is so much longer than my Seagate HDD.

The drive looks good, feels good and performs good enough as well. It works seamlessly and the inbuilt automatic sleep function helps save power & increases the drive life cycle. It is sturdy enough with its extra anti shock protection on inside and outside and definitely can take few knocks and you dont have to worry about losing your data. As mine hands arent the safest around, i have dropped it a few times but nothing really had happened. The speed is good enough for copying in and out of the HDD.The Auto Back-up Option has really made any difference and i havent really found any use with the one push button.

Been using it for 3 years now. It's been great. It has never crashed or anything even once. Absolutely no data has ever been lost by it. I'm satisfied and it's my pleasure to recommend it. I've been travelling with it to work and back, and it has connected to a lot of computers, and has been through a lot rough use and movement, so belive me I know it's tough as nails too. Go for it. It does everything you'd expect from it. Very reliable.
