I take these hard drives like for my MacBooks's backup on trips where massive image files apply. From about 10 plates made 2 little trouble within about 5 years, so I replaced it. Move the durable casing is particularly pleasant, when packing and unpacking so falls a plate but ever down or is treated rudely. But so far no problem. 1 point deduction that this pleasure is a little pricey. otherwise a clear recommendation.
