    My son needed more memory space for those crazy Xbox One games that require tons of memory. This was perfect for that need and not crazy expensive either.

    I am very surprised, I was thinking it was going to be a trash I admit I am a western Digital Snob. But this product has been working smooth for me, no lag, files are moving swiftly and the fact I was able to price match staples was all I needed. Currently In just a few days I am over half full with no signs of slowing down.

    I bought this external drive just over a year ago. It has been in constant daily use and still works flawlessly! I don't bother with the included software to manage the storage, but use my own system. Despite my very intensive read/write patterns of use, it has never developed any issues at all. It looks and works as if brand new.

    Needed extra memory to store games for my Xbox one. This external hard drive paired well with our Xbox One. It is USB powered so there is no need to plug in one more device into my already crowded surge protector. Reliable and no issues retrieving data.
