    This drive with usb 3 is pretty fast and quiet. I did notice a little vibration, but nothing out of the ordinary for a mechanical drive. It didn't contain software to do so, but I WAS able to convert it from GPT to MBR so as to make it compatible to transfer my old XP files to my Win7 and Win10 computers (note: this deletes the backup utility software that comes on the drive, so back that up somewhere first-but I didn't need it). It comes with a usb to micro-usb cord. My only complaint is the cord should have been a little bit longer.

    Everybody needs some back-up. This is a great choice, because of its 4TB size. The price is also reasonable. A good buy!

    I honestly think that the toughest part about hooking this up was actually opening the box up. After you plug it just wait a few minutes and it'll give you the option to format it. After you format it you're done and you have so.much more room now to hold whatever you want.
