    Drive is quiet and is powered from the usb cable, which makes life simpler. usb3.0 speed shortens the backup time when using it for backups. Bought several to replace many older smaller-capacity usb2.0 drives.

    So thin and portable for 2TB. Just plug and play. Needed one for my laptop & Surface Pro 2. Just perfect for carrying it around.

    I bought this hard drive to back up my MacBook Pro. You have to format it before it can be used but it was pretty easy. The files transfer quickly and I haven't had any problems yet. Good buy!

    I have 15 of these, They work well as long as you don't drop them out the window. I travel and I take lots of digital images and video. I put one or two trips on a drive. Best Buy is one of my two go to places for electronics. They have what I want and I get what I order. Prices are competitive and they stand behind the products. I shop online and I shop in the store. Sometimes I still like to hold it in my hand before I buy it.

    This is the second one I purchase. Because of my job, I move among three different workstations on a daily basis. I put a lot of wear and tear on my equipment but I haven't had any problems with either drive.

    Piece of cake using it to back up Ubuntu, Mac just drag and drop, forget the time capsule app. Pc is pretty automated, but has a ton of extra steps you have to install to use it. I really just want it to mount as external storage.

    Great for any storage option, easily encrypts with bit locker for added security with no extra software needed. Note: will not be readable on Mac if you encrypt with bit locker as it is a windows based encryption

    This is a good product and operates as advertised. However, the connection into the storage device comes apart very easily. This is quite disconcerting when you are downloading and have to start over. The connection is the same as other storage devices that also come apart when you don't want them to. Someone needs to devise something better.
