This thing rocks. I have 16 of them. I've been buying them since 2004. I love them. I love that they keep getting higher in capacity, easier to operate, and cheaper, and they stay the same size physically. Great. I've never had one die on me, though a contract employee of mine says one of his died.

I bought this drive so that I could easily transfer large video and audio files between two pcs using a USB connection, and backup some other stuff. It has performed very well, to this point. The drive stays cool, is very quiet, and is relatively attractive to look at. I have not had any hitches or wait times wile streaming video from the drive. The blue LED on the front is almost annoyingly bright, especially in a dark room, but that's about my only complaint. It is blinding, if you look directly into the light--seriously.

I love the drive, overall, and I'll be buying another when this one fills up. The size, cost, appearance, and performance are all better than I expected for such a large capacity unit.

Unlike the Western Digital USB drive purchased a year earlier, this drive failed completely in less than 4 months. Worked perfect every day until it failed in the middle of the night on July 4, 2008. Now there is no spin up, just a buzz......buzz.......buzz........ This won't happen to everybody but in all the dozens of drives I have bought since 1989, this is the only one that failed after 4 months.

This is a great external hard drive. Easy to use and interface with your computer. We use it to store movies, mp3's, and scanned documents.

No problems with this drive. Its quiet and cool and i'm using it to store my thousands of music files. I'd get another one if I could get it at the same price as before.
