    This is the third one I've picked up for the family. Bought the first one over a year ago to use as a backup drive for my desktop. Picked up a second one a while back for my wife's laptop. This third one picked up to use as a NAS, plugged into a Netgear wireless router for streaming my music collection to a network audio player, and it has been doing the job without issues. Used it the other day to copy my music collection to new desktop, and was able to move over around 250 GB of data in something like 45 minutes via USB 3.0 connection. Highly recommended.

    I plugged it in and began saving backup files to it. I guess the files are there. I'll find out someday if the other black box fails.
