    Super easy to use but rather bulky and you have to plug it in. We needed this to store county board meeting recordings, so the extra storage capacity was a must. Good product overall!

    Great Hard drive! Holds up a lot of content and files, but for some reason this one all of a sudden reads “Your computer cannot read this hard drive” and ive had to get another one. Hopefully this one will be good!
