I purchased this for my Grandson to have external storage for his x-box games. It works great and is easy to hook up.

Its not the drives fault but rather Mac High sierra. New file system does not work with this drive and its an issue with time machine. Even google drive and dropbox cant sync properly because in order to make this drive work with high sierra you need to rig it.

I’m a gamer, but I also do photography edits. Ended up losing a whole ton of data because it just stopped being able to sense its plug. Guess the usb port got loose, but I wouldn’t have the engineering capabilities to fix it myself and data recovery would have cost far more than it was worth. Had to replace the drive in ten months, probably best to pick one with less of a usb port issue.

I liked the red color option and it's a great price for the amount of storage available.
Just wish it had a USB C port

There is so much space on this. Originally was looking into 2tb but noticed the 4 and 5 tb was less than double the cost. Went with the 5tb to save family photos.

Worked well for awhile , but poorly built.

Hard drive worked well for a year or so, but it literally fell apart on me recently. Went to hook it up after moving rooms and the space you plug the connector into literally detached and fell *into* my hard drive itself. now I have 5TB of data, but can't access it.
