    Love this drive. It really helped my media server with all the storage space it added but it is a little slow with the transfer rates. Will purchase a few more when they go on sale again.

    Great price on a quality drive. The only knock is that it is pretty loud, even when the Xbox it's connected to is off. Otherwise it's a great drive.

    I assume the device is doing what it should be doing, In time, once my nine year old CPU dies, then I know when I go to retrieve my files the external hard drive worked!
