    I purchased this hdd on sale and noticed it was still a bit more money or matched the price as other compairable hdd's. Mine came with Western Digital Red Drives ( Red drives = redundancey + better warranty) so this is were the value is hidden. That and the great easy to setup/use software and "some" advanced fetures. Very happy camper and feel confindent in my purchase = to value.

    As a not-so-tech-savvy user, I found it rather difficult to get started. It doesn't come with a user manual and finding it online was not that easy, but I eventually found it. A pop up kept telling me this model is "no longer supported". I finally got it to "auto back up" but didn't find anything user friendly. Just now, a month later, I realized I could copy and paste a file to it. If you know what you're doing, it's probably easy, but for us old folks, it's not.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
