    Worked for what I needed. Not very intuitive. I had to call customer service. As it turns out, there was a download that needed to take place prior to installation. Not very clear on the instructions. Once the file was downloaded, worked great.

    I needed a drive to make a disk image of my PC's hard drive. Windows 10 lets you make a disk image of everything on it. 1TB is all I needed. Now I have a full backup and no worries!

    I love it! I keep things in the cloud but that's never a great option if you don't have a backup. And that's why I have this as well. Worth the cost. And then some.
