    Have several of these drives. Bare bones, no frills it just works well and the price is right. I grabbed this one on a "deal of the day" promo which makes it even better.

    This external hard drive works so very well for both my computer backup and storing all of my pictures and videos so I don't use up more space on my desktop computer.

    I use this for movies. It is so easy to sit down and scroll through 100 movies, all in one place, to decide what to watch. This is the 2nd one I have purchased.

    Great device to store and back up photos on. Small enough to put on 1-2 years worth, and the low cost allowed me to get to get another to act as a 2nd backup.
