    Really good for an external drive

    Transfer rate is good once you get past the very beginning of the disk. Latency seems high as my one software program that constantly does a very large number of writes to disk doesn't work with it because it can't keep up. I think it's due to the use of USB3 instead of eSATA but USB3 most PCs have and probably higher Max transfer rate while eSATA less common. This software should probably be used with an internal drive with a different connector type. Would be nice if the company wrote the included software to work for Linux. My review might be a little harsh 4/5 since the drive does what it claims from what I can tell. However, I'll use the slower drive speed at the beginning of the disk as an excuse. Would be nice to review this drive in a year as reliability is my main concern.
