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.

    I purchased this hard drive after filling a 1TB hard drive. I am using this primarily to back up videos, pictures and some older files that my wife and I don't need taking up space on our internal drives. It was easy to set up and use. My previous seagate has held up well and so far I am happy with this new one.
