Functional but LOUD
|
Good: Easy setup, fast, sturdy
Bad: Power switch is non-functional (must disconnect drive from PC before the power switch will work); no idle power-down
Ugly: Incredibly loud fan
This device is by far the noisiest thing in my office. I had intended to use it to store my large mp3 collection which means that it needs to run continuously. It is so noisy that it is not suitable for this purpose. I kept it anyway but will use it only as a backup device.
If backups are your intended use, it's fine. If it needs to run all the time, look elsewhere. By the way, I also own the 120 GB model. It is very quiet (except for the well-known "cat meow" sound it makes ocassionally) and has proven to be very reliable. |
