    Bought as extended storage for my PS4 Pro. I’ve noticed a little bit longer load times compared to the internal hard drive, but that’s to be expected. Other than that, I’ve had no issues. It was on sale for $100 and you’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal On so much memory.

    Compact with a ton of memory. Best HD I've ever had. Highly recommend for size/punch. FYI - you'll need to use the disk utility to convert the HD for use on a MAC. You can google it and follow the directions to configure, but it will need to be done before using the HD.

    I ordered this external hard drive to replace an very old one which was becoming unstable (USB connection). Wow, I love this small form factor and it worked flawlessly right out of the box with my PC. You may have to reformat if you have a MAC.

    Arrived in less than 24 hours. I have to first figure it out on how to make it usable with windows, mac and Android. I use all three format and save documents, pictures and videos. Its a huge storage. $89 is a reasonable price. if you are new in using technology, you need some help to set up. Over all good product for the price and worth spending $. Cons : Figuring out on how to use it in the beginning is challenging.

    I've purchased Western Digital external drives before. I have confident behind this purchase and the self-powered USB 3.0 drive works very well. Reliability and longevity have been the two reasons for purchase and the price at time of purchase was great.
