    I overpaid on this as a bundle service but this is an extremely useful and reliable device. I have bought external storage or back up devices before but they frequently got corrupted or lost data. No complaints about this one.

    I bought this drive to get some information off of a failing hard drive. Moving data to the drive was fast with the USB 3.0 connection. Since then I have used the drive as external storage of a different computer and set up Google Sync. Now I am about to format it to make an expansion drive for my Xbox. So far it has performed great. I have had Seagate drives in the past and this one seems to do better and be more reliable.

    I was looking for a backup, and I decided it should be a usb drive. So, I searched on the Best Buy’s web and found a good price. So, I bought it and works pretty well, not to mention that’s also fast.
