Good value for money

The hard drive worked as it should and all I had to do was plug it in. I didn't rate technical support because I don't need that service. I recommend this drive to anyone who needs storage space. I used mine on my AirTV so I could record over-the-air channels.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Empty

Perception of good quality leads to bad results

The hard drive has a slim, compact design and offers inexpensive storage space. After about a month, however, it started to turn itself off spontaneously. We used it as an external hard drive on an XBOX system and installed games on it and intermittently the apps and games on it disappeared from the screen. When you checked this, the hard drive light was not on or spinning. You must disconnect and reconnect the hard drive for it to work again. Unfortunately this unit just seems to be of poor…

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good but not great

That works fine. Best of External Hard Drives

I use this hard drive for Time Machine on iMac. I had to reformat it first (on another Mac) and when I plugged it in it was on the desktop. He immediately reversed, very quietly, without incident. I really hope it lasts as long as I started it. Seems well done. I registered it in no time and the next day I got an email saying I had missed some information so I just emailed them what they needed and now I have a 2 year -Warranty.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring Packaging

Great value for money: Storage

I have ordered several of these drives and in my experience each has worked great. Reliable processing quality and fast transmission times. The included USB cable is a little short compared to other external drives I've used, but for the price they're excellent.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Protection

I use this drive as a DVR for my Tablo Quad. Originally bought for AirTV Dual via Youtube reviews. AirTV is now associated with Sling TV and wasn't a good device for a number of reasons. It comes formatted but I let Tablo format it anyway and it only took a few seconds. It's quiet and runs nice and cool. Tech support got 3 stars because I didn't need to use them. My only issue is that this model number is the same as the 1TB hard drive. They screwed up the model number somewhere, but I got what

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Nothing here

Unfortunately I find good for storage

I'm only giving 2 stars because there's doubt that the supplied USB mini-B cable was defective (also I couldn't test this theory as I didn't have any of my own) and the value is good for storage at this price point. If it works. In my case, from 2 different PCs - one running Windows7 and the other running Win10 - any attempt to initialize and format from any USB port (tried all) resulted in an I/O device error (Win7) or a fatal hardware failure. (Win10). The automatically installed driver is…

Pros
  • A few competitors
Cons
  • are unreliable
