Quality

Works great, using it as a cloud drive connected directly to my asus router.

This hard drive has been working great for years now.

This external hard drive worked perfectly for almost 10 years of regular usage before it crashed unexpectedly one day recently.

Most newer external drives are smaller and don;t require extra power other than what's coming from the usb.

Price

Tons of space for such a small price!

Shipping

I was surprised though, that it was shipped in a bag.
