Defect item and bad shopping experience with Dell
Defect item. Could not find the device from the phone after following the setup guide step by step. The tech support is not helpful either. Disappointed.
It is also unfortunate that Dell wants to charge restocking fee for a defect item. Bad shopping experience.

Great drive
So far working great. Wasn't aware this uses the older TLS protocol that is disabled by default in server 2019. Once that was resolved it worked like a charm.
