    A lot of space for the $$$, but I had to return 2 drives until I got one that worked properly. Best Buy customer service was very understanding and helpful.

    It's a little slow to start up, and using it for video editing is a pain, but it's great for storing large files (and a lot of them).

    Drive is relatively fast and lots of storage. Bummer there's no LED to show if On/off or asleep. Older version had that feature. Knocked a star off for that.
