    I've only had this for about a week but so far so good. I've been using it everyday now. It was super easy to set up. I've seen other reviews with some people saying it makes some noise when it's running but honestly i don't hear anything. I literally had to put my ear close to the drive while transferring files and even then i can only hear a very faint sound. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my purchase.
