    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.

    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.

    Hard drive box is easy to open, came with nothing unnecessarily packed. This is a 5400rpm drive, so it is good for storage as a secondary drive. I am currently using it attached to my NAS to store CHIA farming plots, was able to store 78 plots. Moving files using a USB 3.0 hub was 88MB/S
