  • external hard drive
Capacity: 2TB Style: Classic Color: Black
I purchased this to save my recorded programs/movies from my Dishnet Hopper 3. Worked great. I wasn't clear if it came with a usb or not, so I purchased one... DON'T.... It comes with one that works perfectly. I keep it hooked up to the hopper, so the nice short cord is useful... (about 1 ft). If you need a longer one, then perhaps you'll want to purchase one - but not necessary otherwise. It was super easy - plugged it in, a box came up on my TV that asked if I wanted to update and format - I clicked yes and that was it. It was ready for transfer of saved material. The drive itself is approx 5:x4"x 3/4". It is black and has a little flashing light when it's being used. I had things sorted on my Hopper in "files". So far, I cannot figure out how to make folders on the hard drive, so everything is just mixed on the hard drive - that means looking thru about 200 titles - Eh - but the point of the hard drive for us is to save the content if we have to replace the Hopper at some point. It is easy to move the files back and forth.. And you can play the movies from the hard drive. It did take quite a while to transfer, we had about 50% of our Hopper memory - a number of hours. But no biggee to me. So far, I am happy with my purchase, however, time will tell. Having said that, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. ... show more

  • Good solid value for the money
Capacity: 2TB Style: Classic Color: Black
So far I have been pleased with all 3 of these I have bought. I was at first scared by the negative reviews, but after carefully making sure I reformat them BEFORE using, I have had NO issues. I use these smaller 2TB models, because they are more stable for long term storage than the larger models. And it takes much longer to do maintenance on them with tools like Spinrite, or Gparted when they are in a larger size. I am a former Sysadmin, and I use these for a lot of data. I have 2 older ones that are from 2012 now, and all 5 of these are doing well so far. I use them primarily for video and audio storage/playback. I would recommend that you throw away the OEM cable, and immediately purchase a dual USB harness cable. One of the main issues with these not working right (other than making sure you reformat out of the box), is these USB 3 drives need a lot of power. If you hear them whir up and go click repeatedly, you aren't feeding them enough power. These Y cables have 2 male USB plugs, one has a smaller diameter cable. This is for the extra power, the fatter one is the data cable, don't get these mixed up. Make sure the data one is plugged into your MAIN USB chain directly from the motherboard (usually in the back of PC's), not the front, as these do not have the throughput needed to handle them. Make sure your device handles USB 3, add a card if possible if they don't. If on a laptop, make sure to use the set that has 1 side by side USB sockets, not the single, that is meant for a mouse. You can use an external batter power supply, but it will kill it rather fast. You can use a clean transformer power source (5VDC 1.5-2 Ah), just remember to plug in the drive, BEFORE connecting it to your computer or device. I have not tested these with NAS or DMP's yet, but make sure you follow the manufacturers suggestions on when to connect or how to boot. Some of the earlier Cisco DMP's will wipe the drive if you do not do it exactly as suggested. Some devices, like PS3/4, etc require it to be formatted in FAT32, and to have a specifically name folder layout for your movies and photographs, make sure you follow this. Otherwise most problems I read on here are probably user error. Not all, but most. Nothing is perfect. But so far I have had no problem with this brand and type of drive. ... show more

  • Linux friendly
Capacity: 2TB Style: Classic Color: Black
I spent a while looking for an inexpensive hard drive to back up my 2 Linux laptops. One is a Lenovo L430 and the other is a Lenovo x131e. Both are running Ubuntu Mate 19.10 (Eoan Ermine). I wanted a simple solution. For both laptops, I was able to simply plug in the drive, run the stock backup tool, and voila! No reformatting to a different file storage system, no re-partitioning, no spending hours on forums searching for workarounds. Backing up approximately 300gb took 5 hours, 40 minutes when plugged into the USB 3.0 port on the L430. Subsequent backups will be quick because it will only overwrite changed files. I don't know if that would be an acceptable write speed for somebody who is live accessing media or game files, but for my purposes (backing up data every month or so), it is perfectly acceptable. Painless for Ubuntu, small, light, and inexpensive. I have no complaints. Be aware that the Amazon Basics case that Amazon currently suggests as a bundle (exterior dimensions of 5.8 x 4.2 x 1.2 inches) is oversized for this unit and adds a lot of volume if you are looking to carry in a pocket or backpack pouch. ... show more

  • Just properly power down and it’s perfect
Capacity: 2TB Style: Classic Color: Black
I bought this product because of my PS5 console, I wasn’t able to download most of my games so I got this and it’s very portable and sleek, my only issues is powering it down properly since it can still be running a little after the console is shutdown. But it’s never had any issues repairing itself or downloading to it and it’s pretty fast too! All and all this is a great storage for a ps4 since you can’t download ps5 games directly too the storage but can with ps4 games, instead you have to download your game first then transfer it to the storage but I have no issue with this seeing that my internet is fast. ... show more
