    For some reason, my dish network required no larger than a 2TB size. I was lucky to find this one. Works great.

    Works alright so far - it is for a Mac so of course it costs more than the PC one that is exactly the same. You can buy that one too and save a couple $ just make sure to re-format for Mac.

    This hard drive not only looks nice but also works fine. Be carefull, it is formatted to mac(HFS+), so you cannot use it on Windows systems unless you have the appropriate system software.

    This is a solid product. I own two. When there is a software update, there is occasional maintenance that is needed. Other than that, you pretty much just plug it in and it does the job.

    Not really sure about the quality of this drive as sales rep recommended it based on my requirements. When it arrived I tried to use it but it was NOT compatible. I live a 4 hr. drive one way form BB but happened to be going through and returned it to the store. The service was great and they had one right there BUT, if it did not work I would have to pay for the shipping to return it because I purchased it from the store. I have purchased a similar drive for my pc and that worked Fantastic. I have purchased several others as well just not for what this was specifically for. All others were PERFECT.
