c my first purchase like this (I was not at all external DD) and I'm not disappointed. the only problem, c the time it takes to be "connected to my PC: we must wait 5 to 10 minutes to appear in the workstation, but it just may be my old PC that is already ? I am delighted otherwise, this drive is not noisy, it's pretty nice and its capacity is very large. It is very easy to use (I'm not a computer expert and I'm fine out !!!). I have saved a lot of photos, etc ... and then we pass them on TV !!! it is superb. Advisor.
