    Performance is OK, only issue I have is that its a bit noisy when being access, should have gone with a SSD.

    Needed/wanted another portable HD for photo folders. Easy to set up, I skip the auto back up feature and simply use it as an additional storage unit for photos and docs. Good quality seemingly, and the price was right with many good reviews both here on BB and on the Net reviews in general.

    This unit has a 2.5" 2TB drive inside, perfect for using in (not via USB, but as a replacement drive) a PS4. Just crack the case open, pull off the sticky foil and attached SATA-USB adapter, and you have yourself a cheap, fast HDD. I have every one of my games installed and still have tons of space.

    The hard drive was ready to use with my iMac right out of the box. The transfer speed is very fast, and I like that I don't have to plug in the drive to a power source like I did with my old 1TB external hard drive. Simply connect to your computer and begin using it.
