It is very hard to argue with the amount of storage that one of these drives KINGSTON FLASH MEMORY offer. If you have been in the industry for awhile, you can remember when a terabyte of data meant an entire data center of storage!
These drives KINGSTON FLASH MEMORY are quite and they format to NTFS quickly as long as you remember to specify quick format!! I have been pleased enough with the drive that I now own 6 of them. My laptop now has 6 terabyte of storage to work with! Since I do a lot of music and video work, that is important to me. Considering the fact that these drives now run about $229 when on sale, why would you not buy one?
Keep in mind that if you connect multiple drives, KINGSTON FLASH MEMORY you will want to use different controlled ports on your computer; not just a USB hub (the reason is each dedicated port of a USB 2.0 can only work at a total of 400 MB/S. That means if you have multiple drives on the same controlled port that they are sharing that speed (this will really show up if you are moving data from one drive to another on the same hub). Remember, having 4 ports on your computer does not mean that they are 4 seperately controlled ports! Check your users manual or call technical support for your product to see how many seperately controlled ports you really have.
have now moved all of my video, photos, and music to these drives (3 terabyte) and use the other three terabyte as mirrored drives KINGSTON FLASH MEMORY(fail safe)and it is all easily accessable on my computer and on my network through my computer.
I have had the first drive KINGSTON FLASH MEMORY for 5 months now and have added the others as they went on sale. I have not had any boot issues (mentioned in other reviews) and all of the lights go off when the computer is powered down. I am running Vista Ultimate with all updates and I am using an IBM ThinkPad with current BIOS.
