    Used this as an extra hard drive for my PS4... works great. Easy to set up. Games may seem a little sluggish to load, but most gamers wouldn't even notice.

    I purchased this drive around the holidays when it was only $85 and it was a fantastic deal. Equivalent drives are about double the prices.

    I have about 2 TB worth of photos to backup and this HD did a great job of that. I also backed up my C drive, and I have room to spare for later.

    Easy to install and set up! Initial backup takes some time, but after that it completes the backup at a predesigned time and date. Easy, easy, easy.

    I'm using this external HD as my TimeMachine back-up. I appreciate the indicator light that show's it's powered up and whether it's actively interfacing with the computer or sitting idly. It has functioned flawlessly since I bought it a few months ago. I had it replace one that had failed. Based on advice from in-store advisor, I'll probably proactively replace this one in about 3 years, so I don't have to start my back-ups from scratch and lose my history as I did for this one. Then this one could be used for a less "critical" back-up function.

    I purchased the drive as a redundant drive to my current 1.5TB WD. It is slower than the 1.5TB, but adequate for what use it for. Both are connected with USB 2.0 to my HP i5 laptop. For $99 it is an excellent drive and meets all my requirements.

    I bought 2 of these to store and transfer files between computers. They are perfect for storage, but the fact that they require both the power cable and the USB 3 cable make it a bit of a hassle ... especially if you have a limited amount of outlets.
