Reviews around value (4.43 of 5)

Reviews around size (4.33 of 5)

  • Not only is the overall size not intrusive, the weight of it doesn’t feel any different than my cell phone.
  • Yes, the size is very good at 5tb, but I'm sure there are other hard drives by other manufacturers that are far superior to this
  • Considering the price of the unit and the immense size of 1 TB (who needs more for personal use?), I found this to be a good back-up drive.
  • but otherwise it didn't allow me to copy some of my files because their size "exceeded limits for disk's format".
  • Price is fair and reasonable considering the size and other brands pricing.
