    Large capacity but slow transfer time?

    Large storage amount and glad for that and the price was good. Only issue seems that transfer is slower than what I expected. Took a long time..an hour and a half to transfer pics and videos. Not sure whose fault that is, since I bought a top of the line Asus last year, and seems transfer should go faster.

    Hey. Hey... Got this because i had to have a back up. My only choice at the location i was at…very slow. Nature of the hard drive and USB…but is fine. Just way way too slow for me. USB-C way better and decent speed which i finally got

    A standard item with mediocre documentation.

    A commodity item. Didn't come with any instructions, not even a quick start flimsy. The setup instructions on the WEB site are acceptable. I suppose that's what is typical for documentation. The cable is too short since my available USB port is on the back of my Dell.

    I shoot a lot of 4K video so I store my project files to these once complete in order to keep my laptop storage freed up. It is quite fast for a standard hard drive. Good value for the money. I’ve already bought about 5 of these so far and plan to buy more as needed.

    Great Portable Hard Drive

    I have had this drive for about a month. So far this external hard drive has worked extremely well. Since it is a USB 3.0 drive, it is fast. I like the fact that it connects directly to the computer and does not require a separate power source.

    Product came as ordered; slick design and compact. It is limited for portability solely because it is not a solid state drive. I've not been able to get my "eject storage device" function to operate properly, not sure why. Happy with purchase thus far otherwise.

    bought this product and like its predecessor, the 2TB it works great especially having the secure features which prevent anyone from opining the files. I only wish it had a time out when idle so it can self lock, but overall it is a god product

    Slow! Plastic built. Runs loudly. The noise makes me wonder how long it'll work. Although it ingests images soooo slowwwwww, it works! Therefore, I'm grateful! I only needed something inexpensive to back up images i already have backed up elsewhere. So, it serves it's purpose.
