    I use this drive to store my pictures and videos to view on my LG TV via the USB port. It works great with the photo/video viewer app on the TV and is pretty inexpensive to boot.

    The only downside about this purchase was that I didn’t get more storage. I thought 1 TB was good enough for me but I could’ve gotten more. Other than that, it is a great purchase
