"I used it to shadow backup my entire C:\ drive then selected my precious Photos, MP3's & other Graphics files to safely store offsite easily and quickly. Runs VERY cool and surprisingly fast for a drive with no external power source. Don't forget to format as NTFS as it comes FAT32 - that 5Gb file will fail if you don't!..." Read Full Review »
