I have had this HD for about two week now. It has works flawlessly out of the box(already formatted to my iMac). I appreciate the blue steady LED on the front for power and it blinks when reading and writing. I downloaded 2.6 TB of data off of my online backup service without flaw. I am connected to the iMac with Firewire 800 and the speeds are fine.

Only used it for Time Machine backup and it died after only 16 months, with Disk Utility unable to mount, erase, reformat, or repartition it. I have other drives from another manufacturer that have lasted almost ten years.
