If I compare with the USB 2.0 1TB I bought there over a year I would say:
-There Is much quieter
-Design Identical
-program Provided always useless unless you want to put a pwd.
-l'USB 3.0 three times faster write and read four times than USB 2.0 (I do not give values because it depends heavily on your computer, antivirus and what you transfer (1 10GB file will be 10 files faster than 1 GB))
In short, for a small fee you can store 1.81 GB of data on this reliable HDD, quiet, economical and fast.
