    I needed a new external storage drive, this 5GB drive was cheaper than some of the smaller drives. I figured with Seagate it was a decent risk, I've used their drives many times before with no problems.

    This drive has been perfect so far. I store a lot of big video files on the drive. So I won't know for sure how well it holds up for a while. So far no problems and files are accessible fairly quickly.

    I bought this for a backup of my backup NAS. It properly goes to sleep over USB when not in use. That was a big plus. No regrets!
