    It's a good quality drive however, the fact that it is only usb powered and doesn't have a separate plug option limits it's use on my hub. (I have a ton of peripherals in my office)

    Would like to give this a better review (size, price, and capacity are all great!) but the drive wouldn't even spin up -- it would just buzz every few seconds. A similar WD 2TB 2.5" drive purchased at same time functioned flawlessly on same (new USB3) HP computer. I had purchased as a backup drive -- glad it failed before I had entrusted my data to it!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
