    I needed a device for maintaining a local backup of my computer and this unit met that need. If you also need to maintain files on an external drive, this will do that job seamlessly.

    The drive was slow to set up and it is difficult to tell if it is working or not. I like the size and apparent speed but I like the software that came with my WD backup drive that died better.
