I like using things like this for moving files, or games to different rigs around the house since it often ends up faster than what my WiFi will do between them. I also have a drive connected to our receiver with audio files, and then another to the TV with various media. From 4K rips to Hi-res audio using Wifi streaming for this stuff has been too problematic and our house only has 1 Ethernet port, and running cable is too much a hassle with the floor plan (but maybe one day).
