    I use this as a back up, not as a primary storage device. The drive is nice and works well, but I couldn't get the backup software to work. It was upgrading from an older version of HP software and I haven't been able to get it to work right since the initial installation/upgrade failed. But the drive works fine, looks good, and provides plenty of storage.

    I used this drive to copy my internal hard drive (5TB) before I replaced it with a larger drive (10TB) and the transfer software worked like a dream both downloading and uploading to my new drive. Would recommend it for this purpose but not as an external drive.. Too Slow for daily use.

    Lasted almost 2 weeks. Started making a bunch of beeping noises, after a few days. Then it failed. I figured maybe it overheated, because I hooked it back up in an hour after cooling, then it died a couple days later completely. Great price, worthless product.
