Wouldn't hesitate to buy more.
Years later it's still a powerhouse. I've had two SSD failures and this has run just as often and is still going strong. Thank you for a solid product.

Great storage at a great price!!
Bought this on a recommendation from a tech friend to move and save thousands of pics from my phone. Simple and easy to connect and move photos. 6 TB gives me HUGE storage at a one time price that made sense!! Thx Bill Z!!

Too risky of a buy, stick to SSD if the files are important
Corrupted after a few months after a power outage and lost all data, could not recover

Highly recommend. Fast data transfer rates. Works great. Working 6 mos so far.
Highly recommend. Works great. No issues. Fast 3.0/3.1 data transfer rates. The cord is proprietary?/atypical/nonstandard end where it plugs into the hard drive. Heat level is medium - it gets a little hot but not bad. Seems sturdy. Keeps data safe. Still works after 6 months. Will update if any issues of data loss or if it acts up, but so far it's great! I like the compact size - fits easily in handbag or cosmetic-size pouch, but would be too thick/deep for a typical shirt or pants pocket. Typical USB compatible on the computer/tablet. Pretty color blue.

Expensive But Good
Like ALL computer related parts, the prices are way too high. These companies are ripping people off and using the AI craze to do so. This is a good USB drive. I'm happy with it, but the price is expensive for what you get. My 6TB drive is really only 5.4TB once formatted. They also charge higher prices for some of the color choices. That's another ripoff. Some drive, but you pay more for certain colors. Total rip!
