    Good speeds (for a hard drive), makes a decent amount of noise (but it's a hard drive so you have to expect that). Not portable at all since it needs an external power source and it's very fragile. This is a stationary device. Good option for home NAS when on sale ( I got the 24tb for $260).

    This is a good drive, very large capacity, when it is online it is fast to read and write, but LOUD... like OMG loud! I added padding underneath it and still loud. The other thing is that it takes much longer to warm up than other drives I have had, but that was understood as it is scanning a much larger drive than my last.

    A little more compact compared to traditional external drives. Good design for cooling & relatively quiet. The USB3 cable included was 36" in length (product description often states 18"), which worked well for my needs.

    Very large capacity external USB drive. Use if for backup, especially photos and videos that quickly fill up your computer's internal drive.

    Works great! Great value for the money. Just plug it in and it immediately shows up as an additional drive in windows. I saw several reviews that talked about the drive being very loud. That has not been my experience. I've copied over 20TB of data to this drive and I hardly know it is running.

    Awesome external hard drive to back-up my computers. It's amazing how well it works despite of managing large amounts of data, I recommend this product if you need to store large amounts of data because it is not that big.

    I have multiple 4G/5G/6G drives, and I'm the guy that likes to keep multiple backups. I do a lot of video editing, so this 24G unit comes in very handy.

    It was a good price. The amount of TB is really good. Although it showed about 2 TB less than it should have. That seems a lot space taken up for other things. I will recheck on this later.

    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.
