This drive is fast and inexpensive, but the spinning drive is distractingly loud. By far the loudest turntable I've ever owned. I bought WD My Drive for the same price and with the same features. I measured the volume side by side, WD turned out to be 2-3 times quieter. Send Buffalo back. If you have a way to test the Buffalo or hook it up far, far away, it seemed to work fine for the few hours I could put up with it.
