In Desktop External Hard Drives

Ultimately got what I wanted Friendly service

Big drive for a reasonable price, plug and play with my PS4.

Works great for backup and is large enough that it should last me a long time. I use Acronis and it does an incremental backup which saves space. It is USB 3 which makes it faster than the old USB 2. I have used it to backup two computers and worked like a charm. I have been using Western Digital for a long time and have only had one hard drive failure and it is my belief that it failed because the IDE cable that was sent to me with the computer case was too long. It has a three-year warranty which is another plus.

There were no problems loading files. I transferred files from 3 different external drives on the Win 10 PC on this HDD, then plugged the drive in to a Win 11 laptop thru a hub.

Excellent Price, for the size of the hard drive

Works as expected, I mean this is an external hard drive.

It does have a small power brick, that does not block other outlets! Smaller brick than what I had on my previous (smaller capacity) Ext. hard drive! Plug in and go! I love my 6 TB My Book Ext. Hard Drive!

I'm not into the third generation of Buffalo DriveStations. I use them in fours for backups; two alternating and two alternating off-site. I alternate two on-site so that if there's a drive failure, I'll still have a relatively recent backup. That has never happened with DriveStations. I've bought new DriveStations because, when I get a new computer, it inevitably has a larger disk. The Axis Velocity drives are nearly silent (you can hear disk seeks sometimes) and take full advantage of USB 3.0. With the two drives I just bought, I backed up 257 GB in less than 90 minutes per drive, using AES encryption, which slowed the process.

Good price

I backed up my NAS in prep for a complete rebuild. I am updating the aging 4TB drives in Synology 4 drive unit. This external drive it just large enough to hold my current accumulated data. It took ~ 15 hours to transfer everything. I was not concerned about speed but I did want dependable backup. All Good!!
