Good to purchase it. Just take into account your laptop has USB 2.0 ports only so no high speed data transfers expected...
You right. I have right now USB 2.0 laptop, but i plan to move to USB 3.0 PC, so i bought this device to support both computers.
Wouldn't that require some external power? Don't know if the USB port supplies enough power to run that drive without additional PS. Just a thought.
