Data Storage Capacity

While some are pleased with its high capacity, others have experienced issues such as drives dying unexpectedly and slow performance, resulting in lost data. Some customers also mentioned that the drive encrypts the contents by default without an option to disable it, making it difficult to recover data or use alternative interfaces.

While some found it easy to set up and use due to its USB 3.0 feature, others reported issues with the drive failing to connect or power on, leading to frustration and data loss concerns.
Highlights
Quality
I am actually happy with purchase, and with amount of storage these days you double the storage after couple years anywas.
I can honestly say that this is the greatest hard drive i have ever owned in my life.
I have had two for some years that work reliably, even after both were dropped on carpeted floor.
This one feels like it needs to stay plugged in at a desktop and never move.
Price
It’s amazing how much the price of storage has come down.
And, it was reasonably priced for the size.
Competitiveness
Now there’s no reason not to expand the memory on either your desktops, laptops both microsoft and apple.

I would definitely go with lacie instead in the future though it travels better and the cords are less delicate
