    A great hard disk! I have him working 24/7 for 5 months now and didn't complain even one time. I don't know why but I feel that I made the best possible choice between the 1tb hard disks. It just feel so well built, and it's design is so simple (what a huge imagination ms. poulton has!!!) that you may even forget that it's there!!! Read more

    I bought this on the advice of a friend that has one. He was correct that this hard drive can do everything I need for less money than competitors of a higher price. I'm pleased with its ease of use. It comes with very short connection cords though, so it has to sit right on top of my tower. Read more
