    Wasn't working being directly connected to computer with USB C cable and port. Had to use a USB A extension. Working properly now. Discounted price helped make the buying decision.

    Not the greatest drive. Had 2 out of 3 that were bad before we even got going. Couldn’t even get initialized to hook up. Had to return those. The 3rd one hooked and connected right off and allowed us to format and everything we should have been able to do right off. Not sure if they had a bunch of bad batches or what but the 3rd one has been stable and now holds lots of videos and photos.

    Great value if you're looking for a decently sized HDD. There are faster hard drives, and bigger ones, but if you get he's on sale like I did, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better value to Quality-value ratio.

    I bought this and it was the best decision all the others are a little pricey. I got a lot of space on my pc now to download all my games. I will definitely be buying another one soon to add to my pc. Definitely would recommend this product.

    Great hard drive by a great company. Got two of these due to a sale and have them inside a nicely cooled case. Paid less for the two of these on sale than I would have getting one with the same amount of space.

    It's a relatively slow SMR (shingled magnetic recording) hard drive but at a large capacity. It works well enough for a data storage, but I would only advise using this as secondary storage and put any files that should be read frequently or quickly on an SSD.
