    Bit slow to spin up if you're using for a backup, but if you're using for a standard attached external, it's perfect. I use it for a daily external attachment, and it's fine. The second I bought for my sister to use as a weekly backup for her work computer is... a bit slow, because the software for backup isn't awesome, but there are third party softwares that can probably do it faster and and eliminate that issue. Well worth the month.
