Do not buy this hard drive! Worked for about a month and then completely shot out on me. Waste of $100 and this isn’t the first time I’ve had this issue with this brand. I tried to give them one more chance and I regret it. Avoid at all costs.

Its nice but the software to use is a bit of pain, everytime I turn on my computer I get error message that the drive cannot be started and needs to scan for errors, a real pain. It only offers backup not a clone that would continuously add files as I use the laptop. I had to remove the password, due that when you boot it cannot start the drive and the password would not pop up, I have to manually search the app and enter password and then run the app to run the back up, kind of like the 80's I thought we are in the 21st century and advance technology existed. It may be a ok drive but terrible software. My old one that is 15 years old, no longer works because the software does not support windows 10 or 11, so I cannot access my files backed up. No support. I may have same with this new one, in 5 years no support for the software or updates.
