    Again, Great Product. Very good at figuring out how to get the product to you when buying it online and wanting to pick it up at the store during the time of the virus. Pickup went very smoothly. Person was great to deal with.

    My first instinct was to plug it into my Linux Mint machine. No cigar! Not recognizable. Here comes the Linux guru: gparted to the rescue. Split the drive into 2 partitions 2.5Gb each. Voila, how I have 2 drives to use. Used the first partition to backup all of the other 2TB drive. Life is good.

    This was initially a great purchase. MORE than enough room. All of a sudden, the drive wont open. And best buy is saying they cannot help me at all. The tech said he cant see anything on the drive and says i need to buy a new one. This one has years of images and docs i absolutely need! Cannot be accessed.

    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.

    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.

    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.
