Are you looking for storage only, or will you run sessions from the external drive? I think its a fine drive for backup and archive, but it might not be so good actually running sessions from it, especially after using it a while and having things get fragmented on a drive that large. You might also consider(if backup only) using a RAID setup so your backup is backed up
