It's a fair price for a 1Tb external hard drive but I also have two Iomega 1Tb external hard drives which I bought for a similar price and which are rather better with regard to four minor irritations.
Firstly, this unit is so slow to get going you start wonder if all the connections are good. Secondly, it doesn't have a LED to let you know that it's on and working. Thirdly, it's slow to stop. It always refuses to stop on the first attempt to "safely remove hardware" but does so the second time. Fourthly, it doesn't have an on/off switch so you have to physically pull the plug to turn it off.
Good points? Well, it lies flat and has rubber ends which means you can stack them up if you have more than one.
These are all minor points and maybe the hard drive will prove to be reliable and long-lived but if I were buying another external drive it would probably be one that was more user-friendly. Having said that, it does what it's supposed to do which is to back-up my data so I'll give it four stars and hope it lasts. BTW, 1Tb is actually 931Mb. Hmmm.Get more detail about Western Digital Elements 1TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive - Black.
