    I love the travel size and power of this little external harddrive. I had to upload a TON of photos from a rock cruise I photographed and it was perfect for what I needed!!

    I have not used this external hard drive yet; therefore I cannot give a good review. But, I have coworkers with this unit, and they are really pleased with it.

    first, i am a huge fan of buying from best buy ad have spent 10's of thousand on electronics desktops drone, cameras, appliances etc anf have no dog in the hunt raring / reviewing this but this is my honest experience. i purchased two of these externals recentl. both are very noisy with whirring and clunking sounds all the time. slows my computer down - or stops it altogether - when I am using photo processing programs or editing video. i do not recommend this particular model hard drive. giving thought about returning them but it took SO long to transfer 8 TB it's daunting to think about having to do it again. i am running a 27 inch, 2013 model imac desktop with 32 gb memory 3.2 GHz corei5 using 10.13.6 high sierra. not stoked at all on these two at items and caution anyone who purchases them ...
