I have four of these drives, which I rotate in usage for doing 'system image' backups to. I do an image backup every month, as a just in case measure. If my main drive in my computer dies, I can plug this disk into the external disk housing and restore my system disk within hours (yes, I have a blank disk on hand, same brand/model, so that I can restore the image to). I have had no issues with any of the four disks that I have been using to do the image saves to. Although the disks are not in use everyday, they have handled the job over the years that I needed them to do. For this purpose, they have had a 100% success rate. BTW, 'yes', I create a new system recovery DVD, with each image backup, to have a fresh/current recovery DVD on hand, as the system does go through updates during a month, and you need that reflected in your recovery disk/image save.
BTW
I highly recommend that a 'system image' backup be done on any new system, immediately after set-up in house. This way you will always have the capability to restore your system to 'new' condition, if anything ever happens to it (system disk crash/infected system).
