It works great...but do you have a use for it? It isn't particularly useful except for recovering files. But it does do a great job of that.

No immediate need- thinking of it more like an insurance policy. Just operating on the "when" not "if" rule of HD failure. I do keep a current backup, but due to work travel, it isn't always handy. Thinking this could be a good thing to have on hand in my travel bag.

2.5" USB 3 hard drives are small, fast, and fit nice into your travel bag.
This.

64GB usb sticks are also quite inexpensive these days and make great short-term backups.
When I travel, I also use Dropbox to backup my main files I've worked on - but need an Internet connection.
I used to carry the usb hard drive, but dumped it for the flash drive awhile back.
