    This is a wonderful HDD. Cheap in terms price per terabytes. Fast read / write with low power draw. So it connected with my Samsung galaxy phones directly with no extra power. I needed to format it to exFAT though.

    Bought this to move older photos and video off main drive in my laptop. Good size capacity but average on speed. Videos clock sometimes when streaming from the drive but that's ok i didn't purchase it for that merely for storage. Lots of space for the price.

    Wow, while IT badgers me at work for taking up too much space (I kid you not), getting this little piece of hardware which plugs in to my many USB ports--voila! IT is off my back. Windows 10,8.1,8, and 7 all access it readily and life is grand.

    I use this for time machine backups. Works fine and no issues. I also have a solid state that blows this away in speed, but is was 4 times the cost and half the capacity.

    Not really easy to use with apple products. Get the one for Macs for apple products. Didn’t know they had one until after my struggles with this one.
