    Forget this one and go for USB and eSATA version. I got this one for $15 AR FS and eventually give to someone due to the low USB speed- way too slow for back up purpose....

    Funny, never had a problem with it. In fact, it was fast enough that I was able to burn dvd's off the hard drive in it, without any lag time due to the transfer speed.

    I have the eSATA version, and it is also pretty slow over USB. Burning DVDs is no way to measure speed.

    #3: I use Seagate 1.5T HDD in it- You can try to back up 1TB of Data thru USB port and see how long it takes.
    But either fast or slow- it really depends on how you use it for- if the bandwidth for DVD burning is enough for you. USB will be fine....

    Thank you #7 However the $30 for eSTA version is not a deal either. I got different brand ( kingwin ) unit for $15 AR FS. If I don't mind white color- I Can get another one for $16 AR now..
