    Got this to back off old files from my too full laptop and a 2 TB mybook drive that was also full. Now I have plenty of room on those. So far no issues or problems. Access to backed up files is pretty quick so no problems there either.

    Super easy to setup. The best feature is that I can direct play videos to my tv from the pc in plex. It does not convert video or audio like the roku ultra does. Also you dont get the HDCP 2.2 error like the ultra. It just always works.

    The case feels a bit cheap, but open it up and there's a WD Red hard drive.

    If you're looking to add space to your computer and you're not computer savvy with installing internal hard drives than this item is what your looking for. It takes minutes to install and start using right away, great transfer speeds.

    I bought the Easystore because I was having an issue getting consistent throughput to my DAC from a NAS. I have the Easystore connected to my Intel Skull Canyon NUC and now everything works like a charm. I also like the 8TB disc size.

    that's voiding the warranty of the device as a whole though so beware! Google for instructions. This was bought awhile ago so I'm not sure about the current versions.

    Works great. Fast throughput when using USB 3 and USB 2 works fine. No issues at all. Doesn't run hot. I move it around to different rooms and units to back up, copy and play videos. Get it on sale. It's on sale on and off. Cheers!

    I've been using this external hard drive for almost seven months and have had no issues. The unit is quiet, data transfer speed is fast, and there's enough storage space for me to hopefully not need another drive for some time.
