    Great HDD for storing massive information libraries to reference, but setup is tricky. It didn't recognize the HDD initially so I had to jump through a few hoops to get my PC to recognize the drive then partition it for use

    If you need an hdd from a reliable brand this is your best shot. My only complaint is that it's loud, and that's because it's an hdd.
