    This is a great device. My daughter had an old mac book that was so bogged down that it no longer worked. By copying everything onto the external hard drive she was able to keep enjoying her old computer!

    I was looking for something outside of a Mac for my graphic design hobbies on my plotter and new heat press. Did not want to spend the money on a gaming or mac and this was a perfect fit.

    Easy to use and good price for the storage space. Transfer of files is pretty fast. My only real criticism is the metal case scratches very easily. It can also be a little noisy at times.

    I had a 500 GB Toshiba which worked for me for the last 5 years. I decided to upgrade to this 1 TB external drive and I love it, particularly the design. The price is reasonable also.

    We purchased the larger terabyte drive simply for storage of business information. It was a good idea to keep our personal and work activities separated and off my laptop.

    Bought this to add additional storage to my XBox one--at 1TB, it should be more than enough to handle the handful of games I'm playing right now. I ended up getting it in silver, though black would have fit with the Xbox color a bit better.

    I like the convenience of going to my local Best Buy store to buy needed equipment or supplies for my personal as well as business needs. This items bought was for my business needs which arouse quickly, so I needed to make a quick trip to my local Best Buy store to buy as soon as needed to back up my computer. I was very glad to have found the items with the courtesy help of the staff at my Best Buy store and efficiently check out and be on my way to go back home to start my work day. I appreciated your store being very close and convenient for me to make this purchase in a timely manner.
