Summary: Buyer Beware!
Review: Not only did this drive completely fail after only 4 months but the company refused to honor the guarantee! Also, don't be taken in by the resemblence to the other Crossfire drives (like I was). This is a much heavier and nosier drive.

There are many more reliable and cheaper drives on the market. I replaced this unit with a LaCie, which is not only much quieter but also seems faster.

I lost over 150 MB of music files when this drive failed for no apparent reason. The company refused to accept Amazon order form as proof of purchase and refused to honor their guarantee.

A word of advice, for those planning large music projects. You should be prepared to buy at least 2 large drives in order to be able to backup. Also avoid this company and research your options!
