Selecting the start here win. Works well. Would recommend.

Highlights
Quality
Good quality hard drive just plugging them go nice and neat high quality item
Lightning fast performance, good quality build, and high capacity.
Purchased this with the intention to shuck.
Only with the drive unplugged will the pc properly start, ie go to windows.
Packaging/appearance
Absolute tons of room on the 2tb drive and decent transfer rates.
The packaging was bad, not bouble wrap just a.
Packaging is very basic, but you throw that away anyway.
Competitiveness
Best value branded 5tb usb drive i could find.
I use this, and another 12tb drive, to store the music i make on.
Most of these typed of drives a full-size sata drive that are encased in box with power and interface connector.
Firstly this a 5tb but the actual size is 4.
