  • It’s clicky-clacky loud, but that’s OK
Capacity: 24TB Style: Expansion Desktop HDD
The transfer of the data is quick, but that’s kind of depending on what you’re doing and what cord is plugged in between your laptop and this hard drive.. I got a different cord that came with the hard drive that was able to transfer data a little quicker. However, I really like the drive. I was able to put16 external hard drives on it. And yes, it makes a lot of noise when it’s running, but I’m users to a noisy drive, considering I’m 63 and I’ve been using computer since the late 80s. Heck, besides being really noisy… Drives back in the olden days were something like $125 for 125 MB of space for your data. Well it’s not fast enough for games and things like that, however I found it very reliable and it fits on my desktop quite neatly. ... show more

  • Ton of space, reasonable price, occasional noise
Capacity: 22TB Style: Expansion Desktop HDD
I recently picked up a 22TB external hard drive, and so far it’s been a great value for amount of storage you get. The capacity is huge for the price, which makes it appealing option if you need a lot of space without spending a fortune. Physically, it’s a typical external drive—nothing oversized or bulky—so it fits easily on a desk or shelf. One thing to note, though: it can get a bit loud at times. I wouldn’t recommend keeping it running full‑time in a quiet space like a bedroom office unless you don’t mind some background noise. My main use is offsite backups, so I only plug it in for short periods. Because of that, it’s too early to say much about long‑term reliability. Performance‑wise, it’s not the fastest drive out there, but it’s perfectly adequate for backup tasks and general storage. Overall, if you need a ton of space at a reasonable price and don’t mind occasional noise, it’s a strong choice. ... show more

  • You have to transfer games to the console from the drive to play it.
Capacity: 1TB Style: Portable HDD
Super easy to set up you just plug it in and your consol will ask if it will be staying attached or moved around. Once you choose it automatically sets itself up.Works really well! Transferring my games takes only a couple minutes and it’s so easy to use , definitely a good option if you don’t have a lot of storage space on your gaming console. ... show more

  • Great quality external Storage. This is one you want.
Capacity: 22TB Style: Expansion Desktop HDD
Absolutely love these drives. They are beasts. Bought three of these for the house. Smooth, quiet, blazing speed and a great expansion for storage or a replacement for older units. Prices fluctuate often so keep checking or add a price alert. They can be had at a good price.

  • Good for a NAS build...
Capacity: 20TB Style: Expansion Desktop HDD
The external hard drive enclosure is slightly bigger than the actual hard drive itself. In my experience it has an okay speed. Not the fastest drive that I've used. The USB port is a normal usb-a 3.0 port so no usb-c. The power source has multiple adapters for people who would use it for their travels so no matter what kind of power outlet it present you should be okay. The design of the external case has openings to vent the heat coming from the actual hard drive inside. In terms of security, the drive is held in my rubber pads within the external enclosure that are surrounded by plastic tabs that hold it in. The external hard drive is a good choice to use for a NAS build if you are comfortable shucking the external case. The price is competitive when compared to a normal NAS internal drive. If you choose to go that route bear in mind that shucking the drive comes at the risk of voiding the warranty. Overall it's decent and has been running well on my NAS. The okay speed on the drive is the limiting factor which is why it's 4 out of 5 stars. Lastly the actual enclosure itself will still run other old drives if the ribbon cable and board aren't damaged during the shucking process. Any old 3.5 internal drives would work perfectly to recycle and not throw out the remaining hardware. ... show more

  • Works great for PS5 extended storage!
Capacity: 2TB Style: Portable HDD
Works well with the ps5. For the reviews that say it doesn't work with ps5 games, they are misunderstanding how ps5 external storage works. You can transfer and play ps4 games to external drive. You can transfer but, not play ps5 games unless you transfer the game data back to console storage (which is much quicker than deleting and reinstalling the game again). It tells you this in the ps5's systems, storage settings. I have had no issues with the drive transferring to and from. Also, I have not noticed any delays playing ps4 games from it. Just like having it in console storage. As far as some of the reviews saying it gets really hot, I have not noticed anything concerning about the temperature that is anything more than what I would consider slightly warm. I have been checking it often and after about a 6 hour session with black ops 4 it was nothing at all even close to concerning. Overall it is everything it is supposed to be and works well for ps5 extended storage. ... show more

Outstanding drive at an excellent price. When my order failed to show up, Amazon sent a replacement with no hesitation. Terrific customer service. The drive is a marvelous addition to my laptop.
