    I purchased this hard drive so that I could take everything off of my computer and my multiple USB drives and keep everything in one convenient place. I have never had an external drive before and this one made it so easy! Would definitely recommend.

    I bought this external for my xbox one and it works great! Best Buy had a great price, cheaper than amazon, and I was able to bring it home that day. This drive is extremely small and looks great! I'll probably pick one up for my macbook air.

    The hard drive is light and easy to carry. The silver color makes modernized look. The transfer speed is fast. The only thing may be improved further is the cable is rigid and does not bend easily. It's already better than the older model, but I would hope it can be more soft and easier to handle.

    THIS STORAGE DRIVE IS GOOD WHEN YOU NEED EXTRA SPACE OR GIGABYTES ON YOUR GAMING CONSOLE FOR EXAMPLE XBOX ONE. I USE IT TO BACK UP MY XBOX ONE 1 TERABYTE CONSOLE, AFTER I RAN OUT OF SPACE ON IT. I THEN BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE ITS A GOOD WAY TO STORE EXTRA GAMES IF YOU NEED TOO.

    This is the second canvio I have purchased. The first one is still working just fine even though it has been in service for several years and is used on a daily basis. Would definitely recommend this product to others!!!

    Lightweight and sleek, this is a vast improvement from my last external hard drive, that was so big and heavy, it was almost oppressive. Easy to use and connect. I love it.

    I would recommend this to anyone that wants a portable HD for the home. This also let me backup my entire system, so its a good piece of mind product as well. I have owned this for a while now with 0 issues. Software was a breeze to install and understand as well.

    As soon as I got home from the store, I took this out of the packaging, plugged it onto the computer, run the program, took my tablet and phone and there they are: all the files I selected to also open in my gadgets. I don't have to figure out anything else. This works!
