Customers are saying

Customers commend the Backup Plus Desktop 3TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Hard Drive for its ample storage space, ease of use, and reliable performance, particularly with Time Machine. Many appreciate its excellent value for the price and quiet operation. While some users mention the need for a separate power supply and occasional heat generation, these concerns are relatively minor compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback. The drive's compatibility with various USB versions and its suitability for backup purposes are also frequently highlighted.

    Got this for in-law to back up computer, set up and let it go. The first backup takes a while but after that it is a quick daily backup.

    Bought this to use as external hard drive for my Xbox One. Xbox hard drive filled up fast with installing games. 3 TB should be enough for a while.

    I'm not sure how much I like this yet. It took so long to back up my old PC - I thought it was because it was old & slower. But it took a long time to back up a newer laptop, too. Also, I backed up my iPad, which took forever & failed several times before it completed. But when I looked for my photos, I couldn't find them. This advertised that it would work with both Windows & Apple & that's why I bought it. Hope I can get it to work. Can't recommend it yet.

    I use with a Macintosh computer so data transfer is slow. I don't use the software that came withthe device since I don't desire automatic backups.
