    Used to backup a few PCs and it works great for that purpose. It does heat up under heavy use so I placed a fan near it.

    Western Digital drives have always been reliable for me. Plug and play. I would recommend using the WD drive utilities software to remove the built-in sleep timer if you are doing long transfers. A good value. I recommend it and would purchase again.
