    This backup external drive is perfect for storing my files and freeing up my pc. I get to keep more files (in a very neat and orderly way) and my pc runs smoother and faster.

    I went in to buy a smaller drive but this one was on sale. It has a slightly larger footprint but is easy to setup and lightning fast. A Best Buy "best buy!!!"

    Needed a back up drive for my MacBook but couldn't afford a time machine. Did some research and this was the best bang for my buck. Easy to use and set up.

    The unit is a 5TB drive with USB 3.0. The large capacity and fast USB 3.0 make it a great backup device. Unit worked out of the box and keeps on ticking.
