I bought 2 of the 6TB external drives. So far so good. I have them hooked up to my USB 3.0 ports. I can get around 85-120MB/s writing speed. I also like the design of the drives.

Absolutely easy to setup and configure. I have it shared across my network for backing up System Images and Data. It's a relief to be able to backup all of our PC's internally, and not have to worry about space.

Absolute garbage. I'll be returning this expensive paper weight. I should have known to stick with Seagate.
