Pros & Cons
Pros
Very fast, and seamless operation. Only complaint is that it can become a bit noisy when my xbox one shuts off. Great for expandable memory on a gaming console or computer.
Good fan. Good product, good purchase. Good drive. Had to laugh.
Seagate 2tb drive for a dish hopper with sling. Can be used to transfer recordings from a hopper to a hopper 3. Works with both the internal drive and the external dvr.
Delivered in perfect packaging and works great. Worked fine on arrival. No problems whatsoever.
Decent enough external hard drive. Small form factor, does not take up a lot of desk space. I prefer desktop type external hard drives to the portable style because it is just as easy for me to plug the drive into a power strip.
Cons
Cheap chinese product aimed at selling for a price point. Not engineered for longevity. Does not show up in my computer or disk management in windows 8.

Price
Good unit could have had some better features price was good.
Packaging/appearance
Delivered in perfect packaging and works great.
Competitiveness
So far after two days this thing is running like a champ.
This is a standalone drive with an external power supply and an included usb-3 cable.
Dish tv said i needed a 2tb external hard drive with its own power-supply, not a flash drive and this product worked right out of the box.

Although this would probably work with hopper wsling hopper 2 the transfer speed will be substantially lower because hopper 2 does not have a usb 3 connector
