    when i've needed an external backup in the past, i just bought an external case and used an old hard drive. for the small amount of extra money, this is easier, faster, and stores a heck of a lot more.

    I dropped this drive like 6 times until it finally broke on me and that's why I bought another, this isn't bad at all! I'm just incompetent and clumsy. I'd really recommend it to be honest, just get a case if you're clumsy like me I guess?

    Product exhibits only minor interference with wi-fi as per its written warning, but detaches itself from cable with too much ease, resulting in potential damages. That being said, storage space is 90% as advertised and only 10% not.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I was just browsing around when I saw that this had been on sale and figured I could use another 1TB. This is great for storing larger software that I didn't want my main SSD or external HDD to have on it!

    Works good, the only thing I didn't know in my ignorance is that is doesn't come with any built in software for backing up my PC. Using Windows 7 backup on my Windows 10 PC.

    This product could not be any easier to use than it already is. I literally just unpackaged it, plugged it in, and it was ready to go. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to friends and family.
