    It runs slightly faster than easy store, and much quietly. Also it comes with 3 years warranty at slightly higher cost. It is worth of buying.

    I was hesitant to purchase another western digital external hard drive as I was replacing a 2TB MyBook that had issues. However this drive is working great so far.
