    I bought this to take it apart. This comes with a WD RED NAS drive inside. Paid $160 for a dive that sells for $260 by itself.

    Product could be great but I needed it formatted for a mac. No problem I am a Total Tech member so I called and after a transfer to India the drive was supposedly formatted. Plugged it in and nothing had been done. I will be returning it. Will also be canceling Total Tech

    I've always had good luck with Western Digital Hard Drives. So, this huge drive on sale at a good price was a no-brainer.

    It does the job OK. I just wish the instructions were more clear concerning the formatting of the drive for the Mac.

    Good for desktop, speedier and unlikely any problem with it. The small portable ones (without power plugin) is more convenient but tend to have problem such as unreadable in a sudden.

    I got in during a sale and it looks like its worth the price. These are rated to run at slower speeds for long connectivity.

    Works well, although I think it makes the computer lag a bit if it's kept plug in. I usually keep in unplug when not in use
