Important. This is a USB 3.0 capable drive and for this review I had a USB 3.0 port to plug this Hard Drive into. This hard drive is extremely easy to set up. I just plugged it in and then it was seen by the computer system. I also changed the file format from EXFAT to NTFS. It could have been used the way it was but I like the additional security and NTFS is the recommended format for windows 10. Many videos on YouTube on how to do that so will not get into that. Just know it is not necessary to change from EXFAT to NTFS. I had two 4 TB external network hard drives that I had been backing up all of my stuff to over and over again. I was able to move files from each of the network hard drives unto the new 10TB drive in a completely new folder arrangement like video folder audio folder document folder music folder etc. I found out that my two 4TB drives once cleaned up resulted in only 2 TB of total storage used on the 10 TB drive. I then formatted my two network drives and copied over from the 10 TB drive back to the two 4 TB drives and placed them in storage on a shelf. I would strongly recommend getting this drive for its speed, ease of use, and for being quiet.

I've been using two of these drives for backing up my PCs for the past few months. They have been working well without issue using the backup software that comes with the drive (actually on the drive). It is easy to setup and use. Getting it on-sale was a bonus!

While it's a bit big, this HD is quite the value. Solid space, quiet operation, works with many systems, and has the reputation of lasting for many, many years. Great purchase!
