## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best customer support on the web.
*by D***T on August 20, 2024*

I have numerous Aegis drives. Small issue or large they just handle it prompley.Also the drives are dependable and safe for your documents. Can't be more happy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well built case
*by E***  on April 28, 2023*

This hard drive works well. I am concerned that it is fragile because of the mechanical hard drive. It would be better if I opted for the SSD.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Price.  Delivered Quickly.
*by C***N on April 16, 2019*

I needed a secure drive of this type for a project. I received it just a few days after ordering, even though I used standard shipping. The drive works perfectly, no issues, and actually easy to use. Looks and feels solidly built but is small and portable.
