Good cheap backup drive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's relatively well performing and works great as a backup drive.

I would recommend this to a friend Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Great for a while - but it will break on you
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good drive - but be warned it will die after 1-2 years. These are good for daily work - but back it up and be ready for it to die after 1- 2 years. I have had many, many of these drives. They always work great for a while - and "always" break after 1-2 years. Like clockwork.

Great price and reliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using these drives almost exclusively in my unRAID server. Ran diskcheck and came back completely good with zero bad sectors. Preclear reads every bit, then writes zeros to each, then reads again. All with zero issues.

Photo and Video Storage
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this for storing Photos Movies and Home Video. I recommend this only as storage. It slow to wake up when you 1st access it. But once its going the write time is good. I plan on purchasing another one. I would not use this to run any virtual machine or OS installed directly. It will be extremely slow.

The most storage for the best price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a backup to my backups.
