    Sufficiently space to backup personal-use desktop

    This drive is a second backup to a personal-use desktop. I set the schedule at the frequency and time/day of the week. The 1 TB is sufficient for personal files. I plan to buy a new one in 4-5 years, to retire old external drives and to update for more recent technology. I paid $5 lower than the MSRP, but I've seen $10 lower a few months ago.

    My older desktop died and when I took it in to Best Buy the Geek Squad recommended I purchase this to transfer my documents, music, pictures etc from my old computer. This was a perfect option for me as I didn’t need another computer at this time. I’m able to plug the external hard drive in to my laptop and pull up what I need.

    I have had some problems with a cloud backup company. It lost a lot of my iTunes. A friend told me about this. It was affordable and easy to install. The truth is I won't know how well it does what it's supposed to until I get a new computer, but it seems like my data is all there.

    What a way to cover your electronic six. I should have bought this back up drive a long time ago. A great back up buddy for your files such as email, pics, folders, Favorites, etc....driver info, copy of paid Ms Office suites, Antivirus sofware, etc.... the stuff you dont want to loose when your computer either crashes or have an upgrade failure where your system has to be re-established or reimaged.

    I bought a western digital external hard drive about 6 years ago that served as my backup drive for my laptop. After 6 years of relentless use through backup, it finally failed. I was so impressed by the easy to use backup software and how long it lasted that I bought the newest version for a replacement. I hope to get similar life out of this one.
