    This is a good dive. It is very quiet so it is hard to tell it is on. It would be good if it had a light that would indicate it is on.

    Purchased one for each of my sons to back up their PlayStation 4. Perfect fit and much more economical than purchasing the PS version

    I don't want forced encryption that come with the case, so have chucked for the drive, and it has been solid for the past a few months. Good luck!

    Great price on a good sized drive. It seems to work very fast at USB3.0. I would have given it 5 stars but the included cord is rather short making placement a possible problem.

    DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DRIVE. As seen in my pic, all 3 have crashed with my priceless film footage over the last 8 months. This brand is unreliable. I have many drives. Frequent buyer and I’ve learned the MY BOOK brand is a catastrophe.
