    Got this on a Best Buy sale. Opened it up to use for a NAS, works great, and is much quieter than our older drives. Hoping Best Buy does another price drop because I'd like to get another.

    I use this as a large expansion drive for my Xbox Series X, and it's surprisingly fast for an external platter HDD. Definitely worth the price. I'm planning to buy more.

    Picked up this little guy to use on a Raspberry Pi-based NAS. Seems to work just fine. I'm sure the 3b is holding back any performance that this actually has.

    It's great item and very beautiful design. There are more storage space than I need now. Eventually, I may need another one. At least, I know what to look for in the future.
