No way to turn off the timeout option
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.great product but if you are trying to upload a lot of files. The timeout function kicks in and corrupts the download. It would be nice if there was an option to turn off the timeout or extend it longer than 30 minutes for large file use.

Overpriced SMR drive, should be 150 max
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.highly overpriced, $199 at the time 08-28-2021, best buy taking advantage of 'supply chain' pricing bloat, and it wasn't worth it really. The drive uses SMR tech, which means it has to overwrite areas to add more data like shingles on a roof laying on each layer line. That's not good. CMR is what you want. Always check in advance, I had no choice at the time, so I got this in a rush and Best Buy charged what should be the price for CMR. I am not buying or advising HD purchases from Best Buy for a while.
