Thank god they've addressd my biggest complaint with portable hard drives: they aren't pleasant enough to run my fingers over.

with features that include automatic backup and multi-device folder sync.
Cool! More crapware to be erased when I format the drive in Disk Utility the second I first attach it.

Face it, portable hard drives are nearly a generic commodity at this point and they're desperately trying to differentiate.

Keep making them bigger so I can justify ordering a smaller size Mac mini storage and not pay the Apple tax!
