    The USB-C makes things super simple to setup and comes with a USB 3.0 adapter for devices without C. Honestly for the money, its solid.

    So far this external hard drive is fine. The real test is when they fail and the company is no where to be found to help you out with charging you money. So far it is working fine but I just had a Seagate external fail on me and no one to contact to help with data recovery. :(
