I have 4 of these, I yanked three of them out of the shells and am using them internally and the last I am using as an external. One of the best upgrades I have ever bought for my pc I got all 4 of them for $475.00 I highly recommend using this product.

External Hard Drive
This is a great product. Back up your entire computer. Lots of room for music and karaoke files. The BEST I would reccommend it to everyone so they don't lose important photos etc.
