    It's Great so far except a bit noisy and warm, but needed an acronis upgrade to be useful as a boot drive imager and file folder backup. A Shame the full version wasn't included or even stated that it wasn't.

    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.
