    Eliminate all the thump drives and other portable hard drives, one device for all your downloads, data, photos, music. Movies, DVD rip and so on. Good buy for the money I believe it’s worth it to be able to have everything in one place, without searching for what you need. I recommend this product for anyone looking for a way to deciliter and clean up their hard drive without using the cloud.

    For the price you can't beat it if all you need is portable storage. Quick note though if you are planning on running media (Music, Videos, Pictures, etc.) on it from most TV's or Blue Ray Players you need to format at least 4 partitions of 2 TB before putting files on the drive as they tend not to recognize hard drives larger than 2 TB. Also the data transfer cord stays connected much better in this model than in previous models.

    No more shuffling wads of files between smaller USB drives. Everything has its own home now on one drive. Been using this for about 6 months now. No issues. Works great. I have backed up tons of stuff to it without any issues. Easy to set up and get using. I use this on my Win 10 desktop. I even do my routine backups to this drive. Was definitely worth it.

    Seagate external HD was giving me issues. So I got this one. It was an easy set up. It is sturdy and no issues yet so far.

    Simple solution for a heap of extra storage

    Performs well for a USB 3 external housing a 5400 or 5900 rpm drive. I have a couple WD My Book external 4TB USB 3s which run 7200 rpm drives, and I'm getting similar write speeds to those. The Easy Store is getting 85-100 MB/sec write. Haven't tested the read speed yet, but I imagine if the writes are comparable, the reads will do just as well. I knocked off a star because it comes with nearly a half a GB of software which I'll never use for my needs and will probably delete eventually, and also because the drive doesn't easily "safely remove" from Windows. Takes some fiddling to get that aspect to cooperate. Overall 8TB for the price was great.

    I only use this for my data backup process and raw photos. Connected via usb, it does the job nicely. I don't notice any lag time in processing, so the 7200 bpm is doing the job.
