I cannot speak for the speed, with most backups, who cares how fast, if they are completed without errors and the backup device is reliable. What impressed me was / is the durability of these things. I have connected and disconnected this drive many times (500+?) to computers that were powered up with no problems. The connectors seem rugged, often I need (in a hurry) to carry the drive around with the power adapter dangling (not recommended). from Amazon.com Love the product. I bought one prior to buying it from amazon and had no problems with it since a year ago. I have moved the hard drive from one laptop to another with no problems. My laptop detected the hard drive once I plugged it in and I was able to use it right away without installing anything. from Amazon.com I found this product to be exactly what I needed for easy massive storage space on my computer. I use it for family files - such as photos and documents. from Amazon.com I am not a computer person. My brother is a computer genius and recommended this item b/c I needed more space on my computer. It arrived quickly and in brand new packaging. from Amazon.com This drive comes with the "WD SmartWare" software, which CAN'T BE REMOVED from the drive. On a mac, it's a virtual volume that appears every time the drive is plugged in. from Amazon.com The drive worked great for a couple months, then I started having intermittent issues like some other people on here. I didn't send it in because I didn't want to deal with it. from Amazon.com I love this hard drive. It is very simple to use, just plug in to the wall and to your computer and it is good to go. from Amazon.com this is a great hard drive so far except for one small bug: it can't work on a home network that shares pc's and macs. it's not meant for that and so while you can partition the drive to be formatted for both machines and use time machine in the mac one, you must plug it in to each machine respectively in order for it to work. from Amazon.com This external hard drive is exacted what I needed for my business. The capacity for the price is unbelievable. from Amazon.com While this drive comes at a great price, and is actually very appealing in appearance, it will not work with the model 21-700 DVR by DirecTV. Great for your PC/Mac, not good for the DirecTV brands of DVR's. from Amazon.com
