Pros: A great, quiet backup which works well with Windows 10.

Cons: You must plug into a hot USB for it to work right.

Other Thoughts: Overall, It's a good change from my other computer's backup drive.
Fortunately my Dell desktop XPS is equipped with a hot USB. That is a problem with older equipment.

Pros: So far I have no reason to doubt that this disk works normally, just as any other external disk.

Cons: I'm using it as external disk on a TWC DVR (Explorer 8240HDC), and the DVR is flaky since I connected the disk. Twice in less than two months it needed a full reset, each time with also resetting (and reformatting) the external disk. Besides this being a general pain to do (the boot on this thing takes forever... ok, at least some 15 min), the recordings since adding the disk are always lost. However, I'm not sure whether this is a problem with the disk, the DVR, or the compatibility between the two.
