Quality


I am actually happy with purchase, and with amount of storage these days you double the storage after couple years anywas.


I can honestly say that this is the greatest hard drive i have ever owned in my life.


I have had two for some years that work reliably, even after both were dropped on carpeted floor.


This one feels like it needs to stay plugged in at a desktop and never move.

Price


It’s amazing how much the price of storage has come down.


And, it was reasonably priced for the size.

Competitiveness


Now there’s no reason not to expand the memory on either your desktops, laptops both microsoft and apple.

    I would definitely go with lacie instead in the future though it travels better and the cords are less delicate
