    I use it for my Xbox, load times are a little slow but i was expecting that. Other than that it is a very good card, serves its purpose of storing my older and/or smaller games.

    Great for backing up stuff. I would not use this drive for video editing. Will work to store footage just not to edit with. To slow of a drive!

    This is a nice external Hard Disk. It has good writing speed and reading speed. The only downside is its connector is unique, we may need this connector more generic.

    How much is added to the hard drive at each download is unclear to me. So it's hard to discern if the device is really working.

    Good product.....But the installation is not easy. Was told ANYONE could install easily didn't need any computer knowledge to install....Not true Do yourself a favor and just have Best Buy Techs install but $100.00 0n each computer is a bit excessive IF it's so easy to do.
