Pros & Cons
on June 13, 2016
Posted by: UpDraftHiker
I will start off this review with the wireless drive's positive features, then its drawbacks, followed with my personal reasoning behind why.
Pros:
1) Fairly decent wireless range; without much of speed throttling. Going through walls, < 90 foot range. < 340 foot range with a direct line of sight (excluding glass).
2) Its overall concept -- being compatible with both iOS and Android mobile operating systems -- extending the storage of a one's smart phone to a hardlined Internet-free and very personal "cloud drive" through a Wi-Fi medium.
3) Universal adaptivness between different hardware types (computer itself - Intel Macintosh and Intel Non-Macintosh) and operating systems (Mac OS and Microsoft).
4) High-rate download (Read) speeds.
CONS:
1) Poor battery life. Less than 1hr 30min with continual use.
2) Dreadfully slow upload (write) speeds. < 2Mbps.
3) Outdated USB technology; still utilizing USB 2.0 hardware.
4) Over priced for an entry level wireless drive.
5) Repetitive concept; anyone can make this drive with a basic USB drive plugged into the back of a Wi-Fi box; though it is not realistically portable.

I bought these because they were different -- better in a sense because they didn't require me to purchase an additional charging station -- unlike Duracell or Energizer's rechargeable batteries. These rechargeable batteries are much better because they're highly comparable with today's "5V port" world. I've charged these batteries from the USB charging ports in my car; from my phones charger and even my solar panels.
Another truly wonderful feature to these batteries is the cells capability of outputting a TRUE & CONSISTANT VOLTAGE RATING of 1.5 volts (Unlike other rechargeable batteries which output only 1.2 volts)!
I would highly recommend this product because not only did a company finally do good and make a battery cell true in nature -- to that of an alkaline type battery -- but also for the convenience of compatibility with an technology for recharging that's current. OUTSTANSING.
