    Its size is smaller than what I expected. File transferring fast and reliable. Minimum noise. Perfect for personal use overall.

    I bought one of these for each of my team. Allows us access to our data while we are working from home and don't have a connection to our servers! Just large enough!

    Works great for Xbox one X

    I got this for my Xbox one X. Plug in, format, and play. That easy. I ran the CoD MW beta off it yesterday and I had no latency problems. The play experience was fluid. I have had no issues with this HD and been running it for about a month with daily use. I like that it is not a SSD because SSDs have finite rewrites which would not be ideal for heavy data use. Great HD.
