    It's a 4 star because it was a little more expensive than what I wanted in a 4TB external. I bought it anyway because it was at a time when HHD's were hard to come by due to the pandemic.

    One of my big problems with a lot of these portable drives is that they slide around or are so light that the cord can move it. This one is well with and doesn't slide around. It boots up quickly and quietly.

    The drive works perfectly. I bought it due to the security feature of being able to lock it. Although I thought it could work with MACs too, but the MAC can only read from it, not write to it. Still a great drive.

    This is a great hard drive. I first got the Seagate and it didn’t work out of the box. Should’ve gone with this one from the start.

    I got this drive hoping the USB-C interface would mean faster backups, but for some reason, this drive seems even slower than my older USB 3.1.
