    I have been using this to back up the computers at work and it works great. The speed is great, nothing to complain about really.

    2nd one bought so it must be alright. only dislike is that it falls to sleep very easily while not in use for a minute or so which means if you decide to use it again it has to wake up again before it shifts anything.

    It has been very helpful. I travel for work & was caught in a position with laptop that I needed to not loose all of my information & was in need of back up. This product more than helped me immediately.

    only thing i have negative to say is that it is a little slow responding, but that could be because i do not have usb 3.0 with that it may be faster.

    I bought this to reduce the number of hard drives I had. I bought it while it was on sale so the price was worth it for the amount of space it provides.
