    Wonderful product for a fair price. Was simple to setup and basically worked right out of the box. I had this up and running within ten minutes and have not had a single issue with it. Tons of storage that is easily accessible.

    Purchased to use for game storage for an Xbox one system. Extremely simple to hook up, designate as the primary location for storage or simply move games from the internal drive to it, and take the drive with you. Definitely worth it.

    I've never had issues with external hard drives. This was a decent price and I got it for gaming consoles and it works perfectly. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is simply because I have not had it very long. If I were to come back and a couple years from now and update the review the score when probably change for the better or worse but so far we're all good here!

    This portable external storage device provides a one stop shop for backups and file storage. It also doesn’t require an external power supply which makes it easy to carry around and swap between computers.

    A 5TB passport hard drive may be more versatile, when carrying large volumes of memorable videos, as a substitute from uploading to public internet, regardless if privacy videos.

    I got this after reading several reviews. I needed something portable and with enough space to backup my entire laptop (2.5 tb across two internal SSD drives plus a Windows image.) It works great, fast and reliably. I've used it twice to restore a system image without issue, which is great for peace of mind. Plus I can make a full PC backup in less than one hour, which I think is fast The backup software that you can install is not worth it. I just use the built-in windows backup. The read and write times are around 100 for most things. For a HDD, I think that's fine. I recommend this if you need a portable drive with lots pf space.
