    Good price for what you get. Speed is not my priority, space is. And this drive provides the space I need for my large library of videos.

    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.

    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.
