High capacity. Low price

I bought this drive to consolidate media from two 320GB and one 500GB hard drive (all of which were bursting at the seams in space) onto a single medium, while preparing for future additions to my digital media collection. If this is your reason for buying this drive, do not let the 5400RPM scare you. It took mine 4 days to format (it is a HUGE drive, 2.72TB after formatting), and quite a while to copy all of my media over, but now that the media is there, it is easy to maintain and easy to use. You will need to convert the format to GPT instead of MBR (Which is limited to 2.2TB) in order to format as a single drive. It is not recommended as an operating system drive (as explained on reviews elsewhere for this drive). But I am trusting all of my media to it. After all, the lower speed means less wear and tear on the hardware and could add to the drive's longevity. If you are looking for a place to store a large volume of media, while looking for a capacity that will not be considered obsolete in the near future, then this drive is for you.Read full review
