Ok guys I would give this 3 stars but I didn't find the hard drive to be the problem. In my experience of all brands, DOJGT and Fujitsu (now owned by DOJGT) have the lowest bounce rates. The only unresolved issue is reliability. I only use it about ten minutes a month to back up my photo files. With such light usage, it should last a decade or more.
