i was searching for an external hard drive from past few days at first i thought about ssdsbut as there was not much difference in price of a 500 gig of ssd drive with a 15tb of hdd so i took the side of hdd and bought it as a normal kind of user the speed which i got is quite impressive almost 120 mbps during my college period there were two most suggested hdds one was seagate and second was wd hence i didnt found any problem to buy this hdd and i am happy with it nowverdict
