    It operates smoothly and gives me access to backup disks from years past. It appears that I need to upgrade the suite software, but it effectively does what I want accomplished.

    Don't hesitate because this drive is so small. Great build and USB powered makes very handy. It's not build like a tank so use some common sense.
