Hitachi is quite a good brand in terms of hard disc. In general, it's solid. For the price, this is more than enough to make the backup. I bought it for this main use elsewhere. Of course I would have preferred a speed of 7200 rev / min rather than 5400T / m, but not always in a hurry let us (we did not fire the buttocks, either). As long as its performance back up my files, this is the principal. And it may very well serve to my Mac or my PS3 for (in case there would be a sudden death in one of my hard drives). In any case, I believe that it is more than sufficient for the utilities I mentioned in my review.
