    I use it connected to my Synology NAS USB port to move security camera recordings weekly for storage. It works great and stays cool. Draws power via USB thus no need for a power cable.

    Good overall design, everything expected this hard drive to be. Would prefer these drives to be SSD, but I suppose that's not something to held against this model knowing it's an HDD. Use this with a MAC, so be sure to format correctly out of the box.

    Acting up.....I will continue to give them 5-stars since they seem to just work! I've never had an issue with these exact memory units. I've had my 1tb harddrive for about 2yrs now and it still works with no issues. I use these to store my YouTube videos. So for what I use it for, it's perfect!

    The product is excellent. Unfortunately, the only way to use it in a MAC device is by formatting it. And there is no explanation about it in the box!
