    purchased this external hard drive because I needed for space for my movies, music and photos especially the RAW files. Looking into invest in another one or a 12tb. Great product.

    Never had to come close to deleting any more of my downloaded or saved PS4 games or files with this external hard drive attached. It's the largest size external hard drive that it is claimed a PS4 can use.

    Excellent for storing large files and lots of them !! Plenty of space and a 2 year warranty. I was able to backup several smaller drives to this one quickly and easily. As with any file archive, always keep at least 2 copies.

    Bought this drive to reformat to EXFAT and use it on Mac and pc. Everything worked like it was supposed to. Plus it doesn’t get too hot like some large drives.

    I had a bit of difficult time getting the hard drive to work with my macbook pro, but after reviewing some youtube videos I was able to get them to work together. Now, everything is working quite well.

    Like so many buyers, I purchased this external drive because of the enterprise quality read drive inside the enclosure. I have two of these for packing up all my photos and videos and they have been running flawlessly for the last year. Naturally, there is a spin up time after they have been sleeping and the noise of the heads to make them a little less than Ideal vs SSDs if you ar used to silence in your work space but they are fast and are a great value when you need capacity for redundant backups.

    I had read people really liked this drive, so I decided to get one to do back ups on. Well, that worked so good, I'm getting a second one to be a main drive, and this one will remain a back up

    Purchased two of these when they were on sale Jan 4, 2019 for $129 + tax and not had any issues with either of them. Use them for my PLEX media center and they work great. One is storage and the other is backup
