    So far it's storing files just fine. No problems yet. Fingers crossed.

    It's only drawback is that it has to be powered by an AC adapter.

    This product worked great at first but eventually started clicking just out of warranty and had to be replaced. I replaced the drive with a Western Digital which I have always had good luck with. This is the second Seagate that has died on me shortly after the warranty expired.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
