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.

Performance true to specifications
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best external I've ever purchased. When using the USB 3.0 feature with a compatible USB port the data rates are exactly as advertised. Playing back 40gb+ blurays, playing games, running applications, uTorrent in the background downloading pporrn and whatever else at 180mbps with no thrashing all at the same time with no slow down. Been using drive for 6 months and is still working beautifully even with hard drive now 86% full. I think I will buy another. For the price this is a steal.

something is rattling inside the hard drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this about 4 months ago, just opened the package, and heard something rattling around inside. I haven't plugged it in yet. I don't know if it will work yet or not, I don't have confidence to put my data on it. Take away, check your purchase immediately after purchase and return it if there is a defect.

Great external choice for Xbox One
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this drive specifically to provide my Xbox One with an acceptable amount of storage space, so I will not be reviewing its PC or MAC capabilities, nor the Mobile Backup. However, for Xbox One, it's as simple as plug and play. Easy setup (requiring only connecting the provided USB and Power cord) and transfer speeds are decently fast for the price here. Owning 32 games for the Xbox One, this drive provides ample space for gaming for at least the next year or two. I highly recommend this drive to anyone looking to expand their hard drive capacity for Xbox One.
