I do video editing and a lot of photos and this hard drive large capacity allows me to store all my images and earn a lot of space on my pc. It is silent. I also find it clever that it has a switch which allows the switch in case therefore need not to over-rotate unnecessarily. This disk is supplied with a holder that keeps it upright like wii console but may well not use it and lay it horizontally. The delivery was very fast I received it within 2 working days. Thank you Amazon
