Needed a lot of storage.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far only complaint is the time it takes for the computer to recognize it. I have two other 1TB drives that are recognized as soom as my computer starts up from being OFF. The 5TB unit generally takes 2 1/2 minutes to show in the Finder.
