    The transfer speeds are impressive. It is very small for a 2TB device. The only thing missing is password protection.

    I used this on a mac, and I think this product is more intended for windows use. I thought the setup was annoying. I expected it to be as easy as using a thumb drive. The company support team was very responsive when I had a question about the product so that's a big plus. Also, in the end it accomplished what I wanted it too. My wife's computer is a step away from being in the landfill and we were backing up photos, videos, music, etc.

    The drive works great on USB 2.0 and 3.0. It's speed is fast and operate whisper quiet. No specific drivers required for Windows 7+ and the drive is partitioned already with a single large partition. If you don't want to use the loaded utilities on the drive, a quick delete eliminated them and off you go!

    I had an old laptop with more than 3000 pictures on it and thought it could be a good idea to get a Portable Hard Drive and trust me it was worth it. My laptop is even faster than ever now! Really good quality, I strongly recommend it.

    I hooked this to my Xbox one when I bought it. It works beautifully for that. I have had no issues what-so-ever. If you’re thinking of buying an external, buy this one. Great price and functionality.
