    Good, had to figure out how to partition the drive and tell it what kind of files to accept. Not any instructions with it, Not quite a plug N play. Love the 5TB!

    Great portable form factor and price when you need lots of terabytes. My only criticism would be the exclusion of USB C on the hard drive end.
