    I have tried several external hard disks. There is nothing very complicated about most but for the price I could not be happier

    If I had one complaint it would be a power switch so the drive wasn’t spinning all of the time.

    Now that it took 8+ hours of work to get it setup as a NAS it works great. No directions or no places to find out how to configure for attaching to a network.

    Works fine so far. This thing is a scratch and fingerprint magnet!! I truly HATE that it has no access light! Never really sure it it's finished writing a file or not!

    This drive is nice and has lots of space. Downside is that it is slow so don't expect to run games or emulators off this drive directly.

    With all the video and photos I needed another hard drive. These ones last much longer than their competitors.
