I use this as a backup drive. It works quite well, and is compact enough to store in my safe. I would say that I would get another one, but it will be some time before I max out the 3TB capacity.

Which was a Seagate and did so after 3 years. This was the replacement and for good measure, I will buy another one, make a backup of the backup and stuff it in a closet in case this one decides to die too.What can I do otherwise, lose more movies and music I've collected throughout the years?

I backup a lot of movies from DVD for my kids to watch computer, 5GB is great for that purpose. Still have enough room for family pictures and video for great backup, also system backup images. Still working great after 1 year.
