Review: 5/5
Impressive, Many Novel Features.
I was really impressed with many aspects of this drive. It has a 10 hour battery so you can use it truly mobile and without drawing power from your device via USB. It connects simply making it a wireless access point and changing your phone/tablet settings to use it as local wireless. Because your device only connects to only one network at a time, you configure the drive to connect to the actual network and it works to pass through so you get both and don't have to choose. Beneath a cover you can get access directly to the internal hard drive's normal SATA connection. For this they give you a cool little adapter to snap on an internal SATA (power & data) to USB 3.0 (blue USB port) converter that gives you an external USB 3.0 interface taking slightly more space. It fits securely and can be left on if you wish. It would probably technically fit any internal hard drive (with caution if used outside of a proper enclosure). It connects and works with a PC the same as any other external drive. USB transfer speeds were about 100MB/s (same as my other larger external backup plus drive) when the source was fully optimized, and as low as 58MB/s in random ad-hoc transfers (which is more the source drive than this drive). The drive is very quiet, with a slightly audible tiny white noise akin to a tiny fan (just the drive itself).
It works with your mobile device via a custom app (iPhone and Android only), through which you videos, music, photos, and documents. The application works well. When you first install, it only finds on-phone content, and has an easy to find help menu7 to tell you exactly how to connect to the drive. So you go to settings, change the wireless setting to the drive instead of your normal network, and launch the app again. It auto-detects the drive and launches a welcome with a tutorial to confirm video & audio playback from samples, and then helps you configure the drive to connect to your normal wireless to pass through so you still get your existing network passed through as well. The video & audio played flawlessly for me. You have to use the custom app. It doesn't just give all your other apps access to its storage directly. So for music, you will use its app instead of your usual one, but I thought it worked fine. The app was very responsive for me.
It worked immediately with my Windows 7 PC, but note that there may be a separate step for mac to load a driver first. The USB 3 cable provided is fairly short, but is the standard length for any portable drive, and you can always buy a longer standard cable. Some people have reported freezing problems, but I haven't experienced any problems. For video, I only wish storage space was my only limiting factor. Many videos I want are protected and special apps or formats to transfer or require streaming. So this drive is great if your need is to store more files that you own that can play easily on their own. For the drive and app itself, I really have no issues with it.
