This drive is excellent for travel storage. It is very small -
only a few times larger than a jump drive. It is very
rugged, and well protected from the elements - making
it great for the outdoors. I have the 1TB model, which
comes already formatted as exFAT and ready for use
for both Android and Windows. I am using it to store
a lot of movies in mp4 ranging in size from 3GB to 30GB.
I uploaded them through a USB 3.0 port on my tower.
The speed is good, as can be seen in the test results
below. The drive did get warm while putting almost
900GB onto the drive, but never exceeded 45deg C.
It did this big job without a hitch!

Horror Classics Collection: 50 Movie Pack [12 Discs] [DVD]
This 12-disc set contains 50 classic horror films including White Zombie with Bela Lugosi, The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney Sr., Bluebeard with John Carradine, Nosferatu, The Little Shop of Horrors with Jack Nicholson, Francis Ford Coppola's Dementia 13, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, and many more. The technical quality of the discs are underwhelming, but this set is certainly a case of quantity over quality.

I really do like this collection of classic horror and

recommend its purchase if you like this content.

mystery movies and consider it a good value. I
recommend its purchase if you like this content.
However, the collection does have a few issues.
First of all, the picture of the box on the product
description web page shows the "Anniversary
Edition", with that label on the bottom of the box.
I did not receive that edition, as can be seen in the
attached photo of my box. To be fair, careful
examination of the printed description of the
product never says "Anniversary Edition". I
deducted half a star for this error.

deducted half a star for this error.
Second, there is no document in the box that
catalogs the contents of each of the 12
double-sided dvds. The listing on the back of
the box does not provide that information.
The purchaser of the collection has to carefully
examine the printing on the narrow band around
the hole of each dvd to see what is on that side
of the dvd. The marketer of this collection could have
easily and cheaply provided that information on a
single sheet of paper! For this omission I deducted
another half star.

I deducted a full star for the poor packaging of the
disks themselves. There are 12 double-sided dvds
in the set. They are placed into 6 stiff cardboard
holders, with a disk on each side. Half of each disk
is exposed in these holders, and when placed in the
box is in physical contact with a disk in the adjacent
holder. As a result, the disks are in danger of getting
scratched. I think it would have been cheaper and
safer to have a proper dvd envelope for each disk.

Some other observations are worthy of note.
The printing on the narrow band around the
hole of the dvd is clear and looks long lasting.
The dvds have a simple but functional menu
system. They typically have only a few (typically
4) chapters set up for each film. There are
typically 2 films on each side of the dvds.

It is hard to find physical media for these films,
and they may become hard to find on-line
