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.

    This drive was very easy to connect and set-up on Xbox one system. Speed is great - not seeing any slowness. USB 3.0 is very fast.

    I bought it to use as a backup and it's great for that. I don't use the backup program on EHD but only because I already had one.

    I love this external hard drive. I holds all of my stuff with plenty of room to spare. It's fast, extremely easy to setup, & price was great! I also love that it lays flat & does not sit standing up like other external hard drives. I don't have to worry about it falling on it side & damaging if the desk is slightly moved.

    The software for setup on a Mac is a bit clunky so I recommend you do it yourself. Otherwise, this new HDD has worked quite well and is faster than expected.
