Yeah, bummer.

I worry about my back up drives failing.

I have back-ups for my back-ups.

I haven’t gotten’ to the point of backing up my back-ups back-up.

Good.

Hopefully this might mean the prices are going to drop on the 500 gig and 1 tb models.

I’m hoping for $60 and $110.

Right now they are about $99 and $180.

I owned the 1 TB edition as a backup for my video production company. Turned the drive on 1 day every week for three months, then the drive failed. Lost 987 GB of data which will cost me $2, 234.00 to recover. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this drive. Go to NewEgg.com and look at the reviews of the 1 TB drive, then you will see…wow its shiny, and large, but their failure rates are 26% that means for every 100 drives they sell 26 will fail. Would you like to lose 2 TB of music, video, your kids pictures?

DONT BUY THIS DRIVE
