    I was simply looking for a 3TB or larger drive to hold my media files as the one I used prior had failed. The price was right on this and it seems to be working well.

    Lots of fast storage when you need it. It does require you to plug in the hard drive as with any 3.5" hard drives. The drive is silent, no vibrations, and has impressive transfer speeds with its USB 3.0 connection.

    Could use an option on the dashboard that allows direct file selection to copy from a HD. Not everyone wants to back up only social media data.
