    Great little unit! Needed to back up my computer as it is ageing and I was fearful of losing all my photos and documents. I was able to back up all my data and set up a weekly back up for all future additions/changes made on my computer. just set it up once and forget.

    Bought this device after having a terrible experience buying a laptop online directly from Dell. After transferring a huge cache of photos on the Dell laptop, I needed to remove the files to this portable drive upon returning the defective Dell laptop. The transfer was quick and easy!

    I purchased two of the to use for storage and one for back up. One of the drives died after downloading all my files. Every attempt at recovery failed. The drive could not even be formatted. Bestbuy replaced it without question. I reformatted the new one and everything worked flawlessly. Have been working for a month now with weekly back up and continued additions to storage. Quiet, fast and well supported.
