    Oh Man . . . When I see the acronym 2 Tb, I cringe as it makes me think of the WD (Western Digital) drive that the Apple Store loves to sell.
    Not to be a “Hater” or bash someone’s favorite device … but I lost a TON of information, followed by a very expensive Data Salvage operation because I stupidly trusted my entire portfolio to one of these little desktop demons.
    The thing is a paperweight in a lovely glossy white skin.
    That’s ALL it’s good for. It was never dropped or misshandled, but it took me to the woodshed, HARD.

    Hi John, sorry to hear about your expense! Nah, the 2TB that I have is the Seagate ST32000… a slow 5400rpm drive. Besides, I never buy anything apple 🙂

    To say the least, I learnt my lesson with digital storage. Luckily I had the most important information backed up on DVD, but to recover all of the 2TB, using freeware software to say the least – was a dream come true.
