Would not work with Windows 10

I am sure it could be a good backup hard drive for windows 7 or 8. First, all instructions were for things not needed with Windows 10. In fact, the software interfered with hard drive operation. The Buffalo technician helped me remove all software that was not needed and showed me how to back up files. The problem is that it would not back anything up. The technician from Buffalo Tech looked at my computer and said to send it back where I purchased it.

Buffalo Herds the Data

Several years ago I needed a very reliable drive to store backup data every month. I purchased a Buffalo external drive. The Drive has worked flawlessly. So when I needed a reliable drive to store my image data, I looked at the specs of Buffalo's current offerings. I purchased the drive and found it easy to install. It has been operational for several weeks and hasn't dropped a bit. When you can install hardware and forget about it, you have a winner.
