    This external drive is easy to setup right out of the box. I use it to store extra data that I do not want on internal drives that I can take to other computers.

    Purchased for backup storage. Sale price was lower than any other on-line retailer. Lots of storage space in a single USB3 device. Speed is good , not the fastest, but good.

    Easy to setup. Out the box and saving to it less than 5 minutes. Speed is good (averaging about 100MB/s) with very few speed dips when saving over 100GB of files.

    I’ve had this hard drive for about a month now, so far so good! I will say, it seems to be tricky to set up in conjunction with the time machine on my 2019 MacBook Pro, but overall it does the job and the price is unbeatable for the amount of storage you get.

    Very good HD for storing photos and videos with a huge amount if storage. The transfer speed is a little slower than expected, especially for a USB 3.0 drive. However, drive is stable and haven't had any issues or errors since I stared using it.

    Bought the 12TB, and I see a 14TB is available. When there is a sale on those, they are great backup drives, easy to encrypt, work on Linux/Mac/Win (with exFat formatting).

    There's no much to say about this drive, it works as expected plug and play. Plenty of storage, the software to manage the drive is very minimal and simple.
