    I bought the External Hard Drive to back up all my financial and important documents, which are numerous. I was having trouble with my laptop and worried mostly all my scanned pdf and jpeg files. Now I can sleep better.

    I had used this for about 10 months for my laptop. It gave me pretty fair write and read speeds, didn't corrupt any data. But, it gave out after being connected to a brand new PC. And I couldn't find a way to retrieve any of the data. Not sure if the device switch killed it, but it was alright while it lasted.
