    I use drives like this all the time to back up video footage for my drive, lots of space at a low price is perfect for anyone trying to archive files.

    This drive is great for long-term storage needs, but for more performance based needs, the "economy" RPM mode that has been programmed into this drive isn't ideal.

    3 TB is the right size for a back up HD. I bought 2 because it will be more flexiable than buying a 6 TB.

    I bought this for backing up my computer. My computer backup is automatic every few days and I needed lots of storage space. This unit seems to fill my need.
