    We bought this initially to backup our DVR recordings. Unfortunately our system was too "dated" to be compatible with this external hard drive; unfortunately we did have to return this to the store. My husband considered keeping it to backup his gaming on the xbox but decided against it last minute. We have since upgraded and I am certain this product world work now.

    I purchased this drive to assist in the transfer of data between an old and new laptop. While it did it's function well, I took off a star because the USB 3.0 interface and the RPMs of the drive seemed to produce slower data transfer rate than I would have liked. Other than this complaint, the drive seems well made and is certainly easy to transport.
