    Drive is good. But it came with no cables. Not sure why, since I see others got refurbished goods & they came with everything

    Getting Worse, Likely No Quality Control on These

    I give this drive a 2 star because its problems were just subtle enough to trick me into keeping it past the 14 day return window. Likes to hang and get stuck spinning when it needs to wake up and activate, I've even seen it fully disconnect during a game twice now so I think it's getting worse. At the very least, it came with all its cords unlike the refurbished T7 1TB drive i bought. See my more detailed review on these refurbished drives under the T7 2TB model for more info.

    What can I say it is storage. I bought it for an xbox s but it isn't fast enough to run games on it so i use it for something else now.

    So convenient. I use it for my camera, a BMPCC 4K. Just make sure you get a good quality USB-C to USB-C cable.
