    I bought this HD to backup my Mac. After the first backup I have been having issues with drive not waking up so backup were missed and sometimes I had to restore the drive to able to use it. I was thinking about returning it but after some research online I did some settings adjustment keeping my computer disk from going to sleep and it seems to working fine now.

    This a great deal for the money, it is a good starter storage drive, as you find more things to store you will need larger drives.

    We bought this for our son who was just starting college. I had peace of mind that he would have all his work backed up and not run out or room! Great investment!

    Installation on a windows 8 system was simple and straightforward. Very nice not having to deal with a separate power supply and cord since the drive is powered by the USB cable.

    Is it worth $70? No, it is not. This hard drive is nothing speical. Its exactly what you would expect when buying a 2TB hard drive. I do like the choices of finish on the cover however. Its light weight and feels durable. But $70? I dont think Ill ever have to buy another again.

    I just loved how slim this thing is. I have two other hard drives and they're all fast. But nothing is this slim. Just loved that part about it. Still to see how good it lasts.
