I've only had this a short time so I can't comment on its longevity, but my initial assessment is that it's a good deal for the price.
These contain 8TB Red drives which should have the ability to run 24x7, but I use this as an extra backup device with infrequent power on time (may be connected once a week). I can't stress enough how important it is that you always have multiple copies of your important data. Never make the mistake of thinking that it's safe on any single drive; you must have redundancy, and ideally the more the better.
The speed is as expected with standard USB 3.0 connectivity but there's no fan in the enclosure so if you're copying large amounts of data to the drive, make sure that you do it in a cool room and ideally with good air flow. The USB 3.0 connecting cable is approximately 4' long, so you might consider getting an extension cable (I did) if you need the extra length to insure the drive is placed in a cool spot or just for safe placement.
I'm only giving it 4 stars because WD Red drives carry a 3 year warranty, but this device only includes a 2 year warranty which seems a little short. WD even provides 3 years on their passport drives which get thrown in backpacks and briefcases, so I think they can do a little better here.
Overall I'm happy with the features of this drive and I'm glad BB is offering it. Recommended.

This drive works to hold files as you would expect, but it's a poor design and pain to use (ever wondered why they're discontinued?).
The problem is that there's only one detent when the drive is closed, or IOW, not ready to use. When you do want to use it, you push it open and it becomes sloppy; the cover slides around and won't stay in one place. The only way you can really insert the drive is by pushing on the back end only, you can't hold it by the sides because it's slipping around, making it difficult to insert. Definitely not recommended, even if you save a few bucks..
