    It was a good value (cheapest 2tb in stock at the time), write speeds were great. I like the size and that it doesn't need external power.

    I am a photographer so I take a lot of photos and they are in RAW which takes up a lot of space.. I needed another external hard drive to go between school and home and I wanted it to double as a back up as well. This product is a great value for the price!
