    This is the worst hard drive with worst reliability. Backed up 1 tb of data for my graphic business and I lost all the new files I made for a month. I searched internet and there is a class action suit going on with this drive. They are known to fail with abnormally high rate of failure compared to industry standard. No more Seagate Drives for me.... I can't even return it because I opened it up after watching youtube but it didn't work for me. The data was more important to me than the money so I did what I did and unfortunately, it didn't work.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I use it with my Xbox one, my version does not have hub on it, but still good to use. However, its noise is a little bit loud as my expected. In general, I gave it 4 stars.

    The drive works, but does not pass backup software integrity check to use for system back up. Is still usable for copying files.
