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 item is great for backups. It has a lot of memory for a great price. It is not as big as the box makes it look. Definitely smaller and lighter than I thought it would be which is a good thing. Easy to use item.

    Small footprint along with a unique cooling grill make this an ideal hard drive for backups via a cloud system or USB connection. Quiet while generating low heat. This hard drive comes with an external power supply.
