    Purchased this for the Mrs. to have a backup for her photos, music, etc. Small and easy to use. No extra power adapter to mess with since it is bus-powered.

    Couldn’t beat the price totally worth it, I was able to back up photos videos instead of keeping it on my phone and taking up memory would definitely recommend!

    Great small external hard drive. Use it to boot Apple iMax, and use it to back up PC desk top. My son also uses one to back up his X-Box.

    It is easy to use with lots of space for a low price. Set up for a Mac was more cumbersome than needed however.

    As I have said in prior reviews My husband and I take thousands of digital photos each year. We needed a backup to put them on so if the computer had a glitch or died we did not loose our years of precious photos... This was our go to and we purchased two of these and have them hooked up when we are downloading the photos from our camera memory cards. One stays on the computer and the other is a back up we store off site.

    I recommend getting more added space to your gaming system. Especially if you have more then 4-5 games. It’s easy to use and very simple. Plug and play

    This item is very light and portable - I was surprised how small and light it was for a 5TB external hard drive. Transfer speed was good - I don’t remember experiencing any long and delayed transfers. The inbuilt Discovery software did not install on my computer with Windows 10, but that installation was not necessary for just transferring files to it properly. When I accessed the drive from my computer the very first time, the space available was about 4.5 TB, but I am not sure if the inbuilt Discovery software was taking up 0.5 Terabytes!

    Very handy for backing up important files. Very easy to setup for automatic backups and portable. 5tb is more than enough space for the average user.
