    Huge capacity is perfect for heavy photo and video storage. The auto-backup software, however, failed to download and install. We weren't depending on that, but it's disappointing.

    It is exactly as they say, easy. Easy to set up, easy to carry around, even in the box, and at 5T it has ample room for most backups.

    Storage and Speed

    Five TB for under a hundred bucks?! The storage capacity was great, even though 1 TB for backup goes a long way. What I was looking at was the 3.0 USB speed. The external drive that I'd been using was 2.0 and it just took too long to transfer data. This has been a nice improvement. I also suspect that it's a good idea to replace old hard drives after a number of years BEFORE they fail. And this one really is "plug and play".
