So I put it 4 stars because I find it really very ergonomic, it fits in the pocket, I can take it anywhere, plus it does not require mains power, the USB cable is sufficient to make it work.
The hard drive incorporates "western digital" programs I could not find useful, so I reformatted the hard drive directly.
I take it one star for its transfer rate (some will take me for a fool) for indeed it is compatible with USB 3.0 and the rate of 45 mb / sec seems to me insufficient to USB 3.0 as found easily on the other hard disk of 60 mb / sec speeds.
Another point to check: reliability, for this I will update my review.
MAJ: I use the hard drive daily for 5 months now and I've had no problems at all.
