Fast...but loud
Easy to set up, nice style and ample storage space - but dinging it one star because it is VERY loud.

Pretty dang good for the price.
This thing gets the job done quite well. I have filled, emptied, refilled, emptied, and repeated many times in the 10 or so months I have owned it. It can be loud, and can get somewhat slow when filled up (which is to be expected), but I have had no issues with data integrity or any unexpected behavior. Yes, it's good, buy one if you need the 12TB of storage.

Works great, lack technical instruction guides.
This drive works great. Large data transfer is fast. It's quiet big, so you cannot use it like a thumb drive, but at about 5 x 8", you can pack it around. It plugs directly into your USB-C thunderbolt port. The only thing I had trouble with was the set up, as there weren't any instructions. I was able to go to the manufacture's webpage and follow the instructions on formatting the drive. After that it's plug-and-play.
