    Turn off Windows USB power management and it will

    It's really a little over 14 TB according to Windows storage panel which caused it to lose a star. It now has no issues when connecting. I have it on the same UPS as the PC. Once I turned off Windows USB power management (that would sleep the port) it would stay connected and ready. I moved OneDrive over to it to avoid running out of room on the main drive. I also have other cloud storage accounts and videos I save of twitch streams. I picked it up when it was on sale. I would buy it again at that price.

    I bought this for my kids personal photos and videos. They take videos everyday, documenting every activity they do. It will help them when they are older to review all their childhood memories. I will buy a couple more

    This was the only item I purchased from Best Buy that was actually a quality product. Works great easy to setup and would purchase this item again just not from Best Buy.

    I bought this item due to a lack of internal storage. I currently have all 270 of my steam games downloaded and its only taking half of what the device offers. Im very satisfied with my purchase.

    I needed more than the small 5 TB drives that keep running out of space for video. This works perfectly and now all my video is in one place. (LOL)

    Im using this drive for my plex server. Works as advertised, no issues with any kind of playback buffer or stutter. Drive is a little on the noisy side, but all HDD are like that really.

    Drive performs well. Stress tested using dban to continuously writw random data to the drive for 7 days straight, followed by a surface scan to check for errors. Tested 6 drives in this manner so far and no errors yet!

    I’m so glad that I bought this external hard drive, which is able to store all my photographs and the documents there by reducing the cloud space with which I can save some money.

    Holds a lot of stuff, but not the fastest. I wish it were bus powered, but that might not be possible with a drive this size.
