    Bought this to back-up files & photos from laptop. Have used these in the past and they are fairly reliable (but remember redundant backups on all important documents and photos - nothing is foolproof)

    Great for external storage of large files. The only thing I wish it had was an easier way to lock/encrypt the device with password. I believe I read it has the capability, but I maybe haven’t spent enough time trying to find that feature.

    This was easy to setup and use I've only had it for a month but have experienced no problems at this time. Seems to be working well and is backing up my full computer every month and certain files on a weekly basis

    This is easy to set up and use. I only want to update once a week and seeing as this wasn't an option they provided it doesn't automatically download. Maybe I need to hook up to the cloud in order for this feature to work but I don't want to do that. So I plug it in and download at my convenience. No problem with that.

    I've been using it for 2 months - not easy to learn to set-up but works well once you get used to it. It is straight forward to save files. No instructions with the product. Need to go on-line and read a 40 page document. It could use a quick set-up guide with the product. It is a valuable way to protect your files, photos, music, etc

    I bought mine mostly to store photos instead of having them in different flash drives, phones, cloud accounts. It's a lot easier to have it stored in one device and then erase the others to make space for new ones.

    I purchased this to move my photos off of my laptop to free up space and also in case the laptop died I'd still have my memories. Worked perfectly for what I needed it for. Very pleased.

    I had two devices, many documents on each that were not backed up. After threats on both, the Geek Squad suggested backing up my documents. The cost was reasonable and it is easy to use.

    Plug this in and backup your data to keep it safely stored in a different place than on your PC or laptop. Fast USB3 interface makes it possible to get that backup quickly. Great price too!
