Blinded by the cheap price. I impulse purchased this product.
I felt a lot like the dude in the Burger King advert. The one where he dives through the shop window, leaps into his car & tells the misses "Go GO GO" LOL. because a price this good feels like your stealing. However..
I have several External Hdd's including a WD 320GB passport & a 500GB WD My Book so trust me the WD elements 1TB is the slowest of the lot.
Would I still purchase this product knowing about the slow data transfer..yes.
The data transfer rate maybe slower than the average bear but I haven't noticed any speed loss acessing the data on the drive.
I have Hi-Def Movies on mine that i acess using the PS3 without a single problem.
