    I purchased this device after my old device by seagate broke down after 18 months. Since then this new device has stored all of my old drive with room for more data

    This was an impulse buy. I had been looking at 3tb drives for a while and the price on this one was the best I had seen at the time. With a simple LAN adapter, I attached this to my network quickly and easily. We now have plenty of room for backups, movies, and music.

    I saw an ad from one of the major discount / sale price websites for a 3TB drive for the same price, AFTER a mail-in rebate, and was about to buy it and have it shipped. Just in case, I checked the Best Buy website and found this 3TB drive, and it was in stock at a Best Buy store in my town. So I didn't have to deal with a mail-in rebate, I didn't have to wait for it to be shipped, and I bought it from a store that I could walk into and return or exchange it if there was an issue (and there wasn't). Yeah, I'll be double-checking with Best Buy from now on!

    I purchased this 3 GB drive as a backup for the many movies I have and for my computer. It comes with great backup software at no additional cost. The backup software is very easy to set up and use. It will backup the entire system and/or files. It allows me to schedule each at a different time and date and if my computer is off at the time it will tell me and start the next time I start my computer if I want. That is great. The read and write speeds are great too on USB 3.
