This is now the 5th MyDrive. We have besides this 1TB still a 500GB (bought in 2009) and three 640 GB (bought 2010,2011,2012). On all PC data and photos as well as movies, we have recorded as a member of the online TV recorder, stored, and indeed everything twice, but if times should go a hard drive crashes. All 5 plates are constantly in use, because I Reflect immediately stored data and hardly use the internal hard disk. I knock on wood now times, because so far was only once the event that suddenly a hard drive was no longer recognized. Connected to the TV but everything was there. Only the PC suddenly wanted to format the hard drive. With testdisk could be brought quickly back to normal. Afterwards, I realized that I had the hard drive simply removed too quickly from the PC. Our cat has already a hard drive that was connected to the TV, thrown to the ground, as we watched a movie and he wanted to catch our attention by an insane jump beside the TV. The cable (use an extension cord because the you have attached thus is easier) did not work out and this in spite of impact from 1 meter height on the floor boards, the film went on. So for me only MyDrive of Platinum come into the house.
