    I hooked this up to my router and now everyone on my home network can access the shows/pictures on it as well as backup important files. Perfect for now until I get a NAS configured.

    I do a complete backup around every 2 months to this and store it. It's great for securing personal files on an external storage that will take forever to fill.

    Exactly what I needed. A great purchase for sure. I have backed up my entire computer, added all my photos and music and there is still plenty of room remaining. Dependable as well.

    It's not so compact as it could be, need additional power supply, but for that money it's a great solution to archive my photo and video as well. I bought it with a very good discount.

    Purchased on sale to load all scanned files. Easy startup & backup lots of info. Haven’t gotten to the video files yet, so we’ll see how it goes. But, so far so good.

    Picked up for use on Xbox one. Plugged it in, Xbox saw it, & started using. Simple setup & works perfectly. No complaints at all. Will buy another one for the Ps4.

    I have been using this for a few weeks now. Its a back up disk for my MacBook pro. Once it was re-formatted (super easy to do) it has worked flawlessly.

    My wife got me this hard drive for the holidays, and it was just what I needed to free up some much needed space on my computer. It will take me quite some time to fill up this thing.

    I don’t know what I did without this. Makes it so easy to back up files and have them on hand when you need them without slowing down your computer!

    I have 10TB worth of space across 5 external HDD's, so I got this big boi to back them all up. Really slow, but it's for backups, not active use. This is your warning.

    I got this for my PS4 Pro. It was easy to hook up and set up. The PS formatted it in less than 30 seconds. Transferring games and save data was simple but took a little time.
