    This product only worked for one year. The older products lasted for years. Not sure if this is a software compatibility issue. Had issues with mounting and then all of sudden, I couldn’t write. I gave three stars because it one of them few with 5TB. If you do decide to purchase, purchase more than one for a backup.
