Rated 5 out of 5

Steady and Reliable -- and not expensive!

I have bought several variations on this drive over the years, and I've always been impressed. This time, I wanted a fast, reliable, large-capacity work-horse to serve as a redundant back-up drive. I didn't have to think twice about what I would order. This is a great drive.
