    This works very fast on 3.0 USB. I stored about 100 GB of photos on it, and then used Vera Crypt to make two 800 GB encrypted files to securely store data files. Once recognized by the OS, it's a simple drag and drop to store the files. I used it right out of the box on Linux and Windows machines. I have a 3 TB easystore for about 3 years now, and it was my happiness with it that lead me to get the 5TB one. Can't have too many backups

    I only bet if I can help it, The Western Digital brand hard drives. They seem to be the most dependable on the market to me. So far they have been the best ones I have used with my computers. They haven’t failed me yet!

    Good product, works fast and seamless. Best part is that you dont need to install a drive or anything. Works like usb. The only issue is that there is no data protection/pwd protected. So, if anyone gets hold of the drive all data is visible. At least the security is not very intuitive.

    I recently was able to obtain old family pictures of many family members who are no longer here. So easy to scan and download to the portable hard drive so that memories can live on for other family members.
