This external hard drive works just fine. Good value for the money, nice balance of capacity vs. (I did that with 2 of them.) All things considered, if you're looking for external storage, you can't beat these regardless of what size drive you choose. Additionally, you can pop the outer casing open, remove the drive, and pop it int o your computer internally as well if you so choose. but that's easily avoidable by placing something on each side as a bookend of sorts. The only drawback is they're upright, which puts them in danger of tipping over if you bump the table or desk they're on. (In general, you can take off roughly 10% of any drive from any manufacturer.) They're reliable, quiet, efficient, and an absolute bargain. Actual size is 5.45tb for a 6tb drive, which is normal for those of you who don't know.
They plug and play right out of the box, and as long as you have them connected through a 3.0 USB port, you can get transfer speeds between 120 and 180 mb per second. I've had Seagates and Toshibas fail on me, but never one of these.
I've ordered 4 of these and I'll swear by them. Best External Drive Out There For The Price
