    This is being used as a backup. The software comes with the hard drive. Actually backing up your information took longer than I thought it should. I did use the USB 3 port on the computer.

    These devices are great. If you're lucky to snag a RED drive inside it's a $260 drive for a lot less cash. Buy them!
