    We purchased this to add storage to our Xbox One 500gb when we discovered our internal hard drive was nearly 90% full after installing 6 games. This did the trick nicely. A bunch of extra space, compact and barely noticeable, and easy to install.

    We are using this external hard drive to get all of our photos in one place and safely backed up. With 3 computers (1 old one that crashes frequently, 1 IPad, and a new PC), 3 cameras with about 10 SD cards, 20 CD/ DVDs and family pictures scanned from albums, this 2T drive can keep our photos safe. In the 2 months we've had it, we have only used a tiny amount of the space so far. We really like it.

    Looking for larger capacity external hard drive with easy setup and modest size. This fills the bill. Setup out of the box was straightforward. Setup for back up was easy and auto backup assures information avaible while also limiting the space required using available options. Doesn't take much space so easy to place at workstation

    I got the first one few months ago and the price was excellent! Considering is 2TB!! After 2 laptops crashed, I learnt that you have to save, really, everything on an external drive. No, flash drives are not for this purpose, as they are for small files and personal use such your phone photos. I now, save all my files on one of the external drives (which also keep my laptop super fast avoiding using internal memory) and bought another external drive to backup the first drive. So you need to backup the external drive in case is lost or if stops working. I work from home and I'm a small business owner so having back ups of the back ups is required for me.

    I have been using this to back up my iMac, store my huge collection of photos for the past few months, and so far very happy with it. Set up was very simple for my iMac. I end up buying a second one to back up my MacBook Pro. Also because of the size, it is very portable. The only downside is there is no manual to set it up and what to do afterwards. I had to look it up on YouTube.
