"This is a solid drive very expandable with two USB 2.0 ports. Only downside is the formatting of FAT32 which only allows for single files of 4GB or less. I have read it supports the expansion of drives that are formatted NTFS but I have not tested this yet. "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
