    I needed another HD to back up work files, and it worked well. I was able to back up 1.8 TB in a few hours via a USB 3 connection.

    I went to the store looking for a data drive for a rendering machine, and found that the best deals came if you bought the drive inside an enclosure. It was fairly easy to open the enclosure and install the drive in the dual-Xeon rendering box using a spare SATA cable I had in my box-o-wires. I've since used the enclosure to house the 2.5" HDD from my sons MacBook Pro when we installed an SSD in that machine. It worked perfectly and we were able to copy all the data from the old drive to the new.

    I bought this unit based off of countless online recommendations that this is the best drive at the best price point for upgrading your stock PS4 drive. Guides are easy to find (look at the Reddit PS4 group's sidebar), and it was easy to accomplish with this drive. Now I've more room than ever. Simple and easy and works great.
