    This is a great external hard drive and with a lot of space. The reason for a 4 star is because it makes a sound you normally don't here from a hard drive when writing to it

    Did not expect a desktop version. I thought it was like the 4 Tb USB drive, which is also very fast. This unit is not as portable as I wanted, but it is still great. Bought it to replace a NAS Raid-3 box that was just too slow. I just leave it plugged in and plug in the USB cable when needed. I like it a lot and recommend it for semi-portable applications.

    I was running out of room on my file server, and this was on sale. Cracked it open and put the bare drive in my computer, but no spin up. Internet sleuthing determined that there is a setting that prevents the drive from running if it receives power on the 5V. So to get around that, I dug out a molex to SATA converter from my bin of parts, plugged it into a molex line off my PSU, and it worked like a charm.

    Purchased for my Xbox one x to help with load times. It did not help, but it did give me 8TB of storage. I download all free live games, so it uses up a lot of space.
