3.0 slot on the back of my tower
How is the usb?
I purchased this as part of a holiday special because I was out of space on my internal storage drive.  This was a quick 2 wire setup (one to power, one to an open usb 3.0 slot on the back of my tower) and i was good to go.  The drive set itself up and I was copying files over within a couple of minutes.  I moved all of my sports recordings to this new drive overnight and it finished itself up while I was sleeping.  The drive doesnt get very warm even when transferring files (i have it set up on a metal grate shelf, so it has air circulation all the way around it).
