    I ordered the external portable hard drive a month ago and it's been working great. I'm using it as a share drive to my internal network connected to the USB port on my WIFI router. Now I can place files on the share drive from my desktop and everyone can see the files from the network without having to do a share folder from my own computer or making sure the desktop is powered ON and not asleep.

    I use this drive for backing up my Synology NAS. Huge capacity, reasonable performance via USB3, and self powered over USB3. Installation couldn't be easier; take it out of the box, plug it into the source device (in my case, the Synology 920+) with the included USB cable, and that's it. I actually have 4 of these. The other 3 are connected to my Windows PC, Mac Mini, and Linux based Home Theater PC. never had a problem.
