This is a good drive, but it has a few issues that may or may not be a problem. First, it can be a bit noisy when accessed. Inside is a Toshiba drive (from SMART Diagnostics) that I bought to replace a 2TB Toshiba drive that was relatively quiet. If I wasn't sure if an old Toshiba drive was being accessed, I had to either look at the light or feel the vibration on the payout. This one leaves no doubt, easily audible from five feet with a hard grip. Second, it tends to run a little warmer. According to SMART Diagnostics, it is designed for a maximum temperature of 55Β°C and easily reaches 60Β°C and more with intensive use. Finally, I'm not sure if SMART Diagnostics can be fully trusted. There have been a few instances of excessive impact recorded (42 in less than a month) and I've taken good care of the drive (no falls or bumps). I haven't had any problems so far and hope I don't get any before it's time to switch to another new drive. Otherwise, the USB 3 access times were acceptably fast for a mechanical drive. (The computer I use it with the most is USB 2, but I used a USB 3 computer for the initial data migration.)
