A solid drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a solid drive that works really well. My only issue with it is the need of using two USB ports. It's a minor thing but not a deal breaker

Waste of time and money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a place to park a couple TB of data and didn't expect a hard drive to just not work. First off, it's got a proprietary cable rather than a standard USB/micro USB cable so don't missplace that for sure. I plugged it in and expected it to work but my system didn't recognize the drive. I tried again after a fresh reboot and got an error message saying something about inadequate power. I tried again and it connected fine and I figured those must have been new device glitches so I moved a significant amount of valuable data to the drive and then when I tried accessing the data, the drive wouldn't attach again like before. My time is too valuable to waste taking the back to the store. I'll research (didn't realize I'd have to) which drive to purchase instead.

Large drive for the right USB Port
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Many USB plugs will not power this drive. The drive includes a special connection cord with only a small note that this issue exists. Even took drive to Geek Squad and they misdiagnosed the problem as a bad drive.

Good But May Need Two USB Ports
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is as good as any other large external drive but I've been going back and forth trying this one and the non 'FAST' one which is cheaper. I thought this would be faster because I read in the Q&A section that it has two drives on a RAID 0, which should make it faster. After, returning and acquiring several drives I finally performed a HHD speed test on my drives and found that this one is no faster than any other drive I have. The big DISADVANTAGE, however, is that it requires two USB ports to provide enough power (Y cable is provided). A hefty workstation may not require this but my MS Surface does. Given that there is no performance boost it's not worth having the two cables. So, I'm returning it and going back to the regular one (which also comes in colors, unlike this one.)
