Customers say
Customers find the external hard drive offers large storage capacity and good value for money, with easy setup and fast access performance. However, the drive’s reliability receives mixed feedback, with some reporting it failed after 2.5 months of use. The noise level and functionality also get mixed reviews, with some finding it very quiet while others say it hums all day and all night, and while it works well with Android TV, some report it doesn’t work with iMac. Speed performance is mixed, with some reporting excellent speeds while others find it quite slow.
