Worked well until Windows 7

Bought one of these external drives and used it without issue for months. Then I upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 64 Bit and it fails to accept the drive. If you do not have Windows 7, then I would recommend this, if you are planning an upgrade then do not buy it, look for another model.

I bought one of these hard drives not from this site, and at first i thought it was good, but ive had it quite a while now and the whole hard drives corrupt.
I dont know weather it was the hard drive or me, but all i say is just be careful what you put on there in ase you lose it all!!
