    With 1TB of storage this is a good hard drive for basic data backups. If you're using it to store games and such on with XBox I would not use this one as it will fill up pretty quick if you use many games.

    After close examination, this drive is a great choice for adding more space to my Dvr or taking music with me. It holds just the right amount of files and only needs the one cable for data and power.
