Review Summary
2017-03-01T10:31:03
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.
