    First time buying an external hard drive. First time I plugged it in it went to work and started right up. Transfers pretty quick especially when using USB 3.0

    I use this drive to backup a PC. This is small, quiet and consumes very little power. Perfect for people that travel and need storage. I highly recommend it.

    Bought this to backup and transfer 500gb over 150,000 files. At least 10x faster than usb 2.0 just make sure you have right input on your computer (blue usb 3.0)

    Just plug it in and follow the prompts to backup immediately or to set up a routine for backing up. Have not tried to restore yet and hopefully will not need to

    Used it as an external drive for my PS4 console. When PS4 released the 4.5 update, it allows us to use external drive as a storage space for the game. Excellent!

    2T is more than enough to store pictures and document back ups. Rugged and well designed. Small enough to fit in the fire-proof box for storage and protection.
