    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 purchased hoping to make it a network backup from my router, but it's not working for that. Possibly my router and not a hard drive problem. Works great connected directly to computer.
