Worked great right out of the box Lots of storage and good transfer speeds

I haven’t used it extensively yet. I upgraded it to back up an aging Seagate 4TB and files from other locations. So far, it has performed as advertised. Read/write speeds are as expected, and during several GB and/or TB transfers, it didn’t feel excessively hot or loud. However, it does feel and look a bit cheap for the price. If that means more storage for a smaller case, I’m fine with it.

I bought this for extra storage for my storage and games for PC. This works quite well. It has a good amount of space and it can play games that from a certain era very well. It can play games like high on life and South of midnight either in 4k or 1080p with minimum or no stutters depending on the textures for example. It can play games that were from PS4 Xbox 360 era that were ported to PC quite well. I highly recommend this for storage or for paying video games that aren't to texture heavy.

I bought this drive for one purpose… Time Machine backup on my Mac Mini. And the $/TB was lower than the WD MyBook equivalent. The casing on it isn’t particulalry robust. And longevity hasnt been tested by me yet. As a drive to just sit in the background and do daily backups, its as good as ive used. Unexpected bonus is it is fast enoufh to use as a media library for Plex if you want a big drive for that use. Its not really fast enough for me to want to use for video editing or Apple Photos library, which ive got on SSD. Some users have complained its noisy but i havent found it much louder than other fullsize external HDDs. The fullsize ones can be noosy when they spin up compared to the small portable ones.

Excellent Pricing by Bestbuy - Doesnt get Hot and matches everything in the description. Must BUY if you are looking for large data storage! (especially for small files like pictures, docs etc.)

The internal drive is 7200rpm Barracuda (some of these use EXOS) and at 24TB is a good option for periodic offline backups. Being on sale at $239 helped the decision process.

This is a usb A type but getting a little $5 adapter worked well for use with USB C. Use with an M4 Mac. Haven't had an issue with this. Works great!

So far so good. I bought four of these to shuck and replace my NAS drives as they were cheaper at the time than buying 4x24TB bare seagate drives. Note, these cases are much harder to get into than the WD ones I opened last time I did this and I don't think it's possible to get into them without snapping at least 50% of the tabs. These drives are a bit noisier than the 10TB WD drives they are replacing, but not dramatically. My array has just finished rebuilding and is almost done expanding, so no clue on reliability yet, hopefully it'll be 7+ years like the last set of WD's I had.

Love it, works great, upgraded from 5gb to now 25gb, plenty of space for anything you need to save.

Solid external HD. Good speed, good price. Worked out of the box. I'm using it for my Windows backups and it works perfectly. We'll see how long it lasts; specifically if it outlasts the storage capacity, which will take a few years, at least.

Worked Great, so much storage at a great price. Did exactly what I needed

it’s a nice size hard drive it’s can be loud at time but other then that its great

I would definitely recommended for someone in need of storage but I will say its a bit louder than I would have wished.

Easy to use and good off system storage of important files.

I have several portable HDD units with a total capacity of 12 TB, but since I have many pictures and videos I was getting out of free space to cover my actual and future needs. This HDD is perfect to me. It has enough space to acomodate all pictures and videos I already have, and give me lots of free capacity, so I will not worry for sometime. For the sale price I paid, it was a terrific deal. I'm very satisfied.

Good value and good performance. Lots of space to back up system with.

Great BIG external Harddrive. Works swell. Easy to set up and use.

Works great, easy hookup! Transferred music, pictures, and lots of videos

EXCELLENT PRODUCT. Plenty of room to backup files and very easy to format. Peace of mind finally!

The space is fantastic for the price, but it just a little loud and vibrates a bit
