(2Tb version, In total 10+ purchased for various utility and medium-term non-critical file storage after initial batch to review suitability) Comparatively speaking significantly quiet for a desktop drive - makes my older Lacies sound like a tap-dancing troupe in comparison. Appears to deal...
Read the full review →Reliable unit that is best kept out of view. It does not look the best sitting on your desk.
Read the full review →Overall, this drive has been very reliable and came at a very reasonable price. My only gripe is that the disk access light is in the back of the unit. It may be worth noting that I primarily use this drive for local backups and occasionally use it as a Final Cut Express 'scratch drive.'
Read the full review →Very reliable backup drive. Not a bad value: $70 for 1 TB on Amazon is what I paid.
