“I don't need NAS, can this be used as a regular backup disk? Thanks.”

• Yes, but it has an annoying habit of being noisy and wakes up every 20 minutes, beeps, spins up, and slows down your system while doing it. I have not been able to get it from entering sleep mode. Total space is 10.3 Gigs formatted to Windows specs. Also if it's 7200 RPM like the specs, it's a SLOW 7200 RPM. It does have a somewhat fast transfer speed for a mechanical drive. Do not use it for video though as I said its slow.

• I use this drive as a regular backup with no problems. I like that NAS drives produce less heat, are less sensitive to vibration and tend to last longer. The trade off is that NAS drives tend to be slower than normal desktop drives, however I paired this with the Sabrent Docking Station and get around 200mbps, which is not too bad.
