    Great for backing up media

    This is my second one of these drives, I store my footage for past media projects. It's great, though I would only use it for long term storage/media playback as it isn't fast enough to edit off of. Stick to SSDs for working drives

    Quiet, efficient, replaced a hodge podge of old 8TB drives that I had over the years. Works well as part of a basic PLEX setup. No brainer to add to Windows via USB.

    Does its job for the price point

    Does its job. But it makes whirrs and makes too much noise compared to a WD Easydrive that I also own. While it's whirring up, explorer also freezes until it finishes loading (even when I'm not trying to open the drive). It's cheaper than that model, so I guess that's the tradeoff

    UPS informs me they have an empty box. I online chatted with BB and was told basically the same thing--we don't have the item you paid for. Attempting to get my account credited. Not nearly as easy as the buying experience. Wonder why?
