    Love everything about this product, It's fast, convenient, affordable, and very useful. It is a little heavy but not too cumbersome.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this drive. I purchased it because of a review I read on the best external usb3 hd to use for Xbox One. This drive is very quiet and has a nice weight to it, so you will not have to worry about it sliding around. My Xbox One recognized it immediately and it has been working great since. I also bought the 5TB for my desktop computer and use it to backup my years of digital photos, videos amd music files. It comes formatted as NTFS file system.

    Does exactly what it should. Never any trouble. Plugged it in, turned it on and forgot about it. Great product I'd buy again.
