    This is the 3rd or 4th hard drive that I've purchased and I keep coming back to this brand. With the changes in technology and the sales, I am paying no more for this unit than the first one that I purchased that was 1TB.

    A lot of space it would be hard to fill this up. I had to learn to drag and drop my files into the disk and not rely on the built in software to back up my files. I feel like other people have had that issue as well.
