The box is small, inexpensive, it does what it should - work. It can be accessed like a USB stick it.
I just ordered another. Then comes my old retire.
One needs only 1 USB port and even the whole works.
What does not work, you can not read about SMART values that is the only point of criticism but I can live with.
For this you just have to run backup.
Capacity limitation according to the manufacturer - no.
With a 500GB hard drive I had zero problems connecting, and running.
