If you were my parents I'd tell you to run and stay far away from that, whatever the cost. It promises to be nothing but low quality junk.


If you want to guarantee compatibility and keep your data safe, only buy your storage from reputable brands and established retailers. In no order of preference I would include Seagate, Kingston, PNY, Verbatim, Crucial LaCie, Samsung, SanDisk, OWC, Western Digital.
