    So far so good, I always start out with high ratings unless There is a problem and I like to consider longevity a crucial factor which I cannot endorse this early after purchase, but as a basic storage device where read/write speeds don’t need to be too high , it seems to be just fine

    What a great IT tool to have in my IT toolbox - knowing I can schedule a back-up easily and not worry about losing data is a peace-of-mind insurance!! Great product!

    I love it! I keep things in the cloud but that's never a great option if you don't have a backup. And that's why I have this as well. Worth the cost. And then some.
