    I have a few of these and while they are slow to write to, they are perfect for backups. The USB ports are a nice addition.

    Runs quiet and fast. Only draw back is no lights to let let you know if it is transferring data. I would recommend this.

    Downloaded 38 GB and it still looks like new. And, in the near future, I am banking on the prospect that it will have everything that was backed up.

    Was really looking for something to back up my large media collection. I have a 4TB and 2TB HD full of movies, music photos and files from years and I wanted to back everything up on one HD. This is turning into a process. I am only about half done because of how slow the transfer rate is. Product claims a certain transfer speed via USB 3.0 but I have 2 different computers I have tried using to transfer through a USB 3.0 and about 30-40 mb/s is the top speed it will reach. I am guessing this will take at least a week to finish backing everything up.

    I think this was a fairly priced and so far had not broken down on us yet but it may be too early to tell. Hope it lasts me at least 2-3 years.

    The software is not as easy to use and the old computers take long to work on back up. But working as an external driver works fine.
