    I bought this to free up storage on my Mac. I'm a newbie photographer and needed more space. I can store and retrieve no problem.

    I was able to back up 3 computers and still have a boat load of space left. I now have total piece of mind if any of my computers die on me and I will not loose any of my pictures.

    I purchased this to free up space on my DISH DVR by backing up my shows to this external hard drive. It's very easy to set up. Quiet. No humming or buzzing sounds when transferring data. Very fast, and plays back clear. Nice size, not big or bulky. Quite sleek looking, I would even go as far as saying "elegant'. Blends in nicely with all decor.

    When my old computer crashed, I needed a large hard drive to store my music. This drive is great because I can save thousands of albums and yet I paid very little for it.

    This portable hard drive is perfect for backing up a mac book. It works efficiently when plugged in and can hold plenty of information so that you need not worry about your computer crashing and you losing everything. The first backup will take several hours but after that just a few minutes each time you plug it in. It is super compact so you can stash it in any drawer. works well.

    I use it for my Xbox One. Since you cant keep alot on the internal hard drive, i got that in 2TB's. Very high speeds with this, dare I say even faster then the internal.

    I don't have very good luck with external hard drives, Had at least two fail on me in the past, this one is still spinning for me, so I have nothing to complain about.

    As far as I can tell this is good. I'm yet to test the reliability just because I haven't hadn't it for over a year but it's nice looking, quiet and fast. I chose this over Western Digital just from research I did.

    I bought this because I needed more room for backups on my macbook and this baby is quick!! It backed up nearly 200GB's of info on my mac in about 45 minutes. Definitely the best bang for your buck, minus paying out the nose for an SSD. I actually returned a western digital I purchased that didn't seem to function properly so I'm glad I did! I'm very happy with this purchase
