    I have purchased several external hard drives over the past few years and this one has the best storage space for the best price of any of them. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    Great external storage for computer. It's also Xbox one compatible for external game storage along with your videos and pictures also if u are into capturing and streaming game clips. Only downfall is u can't swap out the hard drive with normal hdd. It has a custom port for hdd in case. Besides that great product fast download and upload speeds runs games on xbox flawlessly.

    I got this only to expand my xbox one’s storage, the setup was extremely easy as i only had to Plug it in and it was instantly recognized, load times are pretty close to the stock unit on the xbox so every so far has been great.

    Does exactly what you want it to: plug and play! You just plug this in to a USB 3.0 slot, follow the EASY on-screen directions on how to format it, and you have added 2TB of data storage to the XBox One. A great addition at a very good price.

    I found this unit to be perfectly reliable. It supports fast data transfer rates and provides a ton of storage. I consolidated a bunch of old system backup images onto this single unit, releasing a bunch of old internal drives I had been saving.

    I purchased 2 of these for a gift. I had such a good experience with them, that I risked giving them. I use mine to store photos and music, and the other as a backup. I have 6 computers (work and home), and I like being able to move my files to any of them.

    @ TB of storage for under $75 is great, the drive works well so far. A bit slow but that is true of all USB external dives. The Western digital backup software is not very friendly. Used the older version for years and it was great, easy to change plans and verify data etc. New version is not compatible with older drive and will not see my old 500 GB. The old software will not see the newer drives. SO I use bth, one for each drive

    The hard drive on my desk top quit working after a storm cane through, the computer works fine, just not the hard drive. So I bought this to use instead. It works great, I keep it hooked up and have it programmed to back up once a week.
