This was great value for money. I needed to upgrade my external drive and this fit the bill perfectly. My only suggestion to anyone purchasing is to consider partitioning the drive before they start using. It seems to work much quicker.

This hard drive is quiet and very fast when pluged up to a usb3.0 port. I have 2TB of tv & movies on it now and a lot of music. The price was great and so easy to use after it's set up. Almost wish i'd have bought 2 of them

In general I'm a novice at computing but I bought this wanting another storage option for all my music, photos and movie files. After plugging this into my computer and installing the appropriate software I easily partitioned this drive into 3 separate drives, 2 of them being a single terabyte which music goes on one, photos the other. The 3rd partition which is the remainder of the available drive space will be for movies. Everything went smooth and so far I'm having no problems transferring files. Very pleased with this drive.
