    Had about 4 TB to download for work. Needed to be able to transport the data to other locations. At this price point, this was a great deal!

    I had the poorly designed MyBook from Western Digital which broke when it got knocked over. It was a nightmare recovering the data and $450 later, I was able to save all my files. The Seagate seems very sturdy and is much faster. Hopefully this lasts me longer. But lesson learned.. ALWAYS store your important data in 2 different drives!
