Many appreciate its compact size and the fast transfer speeds offered by the USB 3.0 connection, while some find the included software less than ideal and have noted minor design preferences. The price-to-performance ratio also receives positive feedback.

    The unit works fine right out of the box, and self-installs. File transfer between drives is OK but not great, but not slow either.

    Good Investment. This will help keep my files updated and secure. I don't use any outer space for my back up.

    Being that the Xbox One and the PS4 1 TB isn't enough for these games to install I had to buy a few 4TB hard drives and I'm happy with my purchase.

    I now have the 1, 3, and 4 TB versions. Love each one, just plug in and use. If you don’t like the security it comes it just delete/format it.

    Finally some small form factor drives that are USB powered are hitting the market. This makes them truly portable with no external power supply needed.

    The drive is a standard mechanical drive. The case is stylish and very durable. Come with software for backup and other functions. Actually have two and use them in a rotation for backing photos and personal files.

    I work in video production, these are great hard drives but slow down excessively when you begin to work with 4k material as the transfer rate is not high enough. Been using these drives for nearly 10 years and I love them
