As long as the disc is already spinning you shouldn't have any difficulties accessing files, however it does stop spinning to conserve power while not in use.

It's been working perfectly so far, doesn't overheat like my old one used to and I'm actually able to access several different files at once. I have yet to change the file sources on Media Monkey to recognize the drive but so far it has been functionally effective as a backup.

Portability isn't a big issue for me either, as EHDs eat up far too much battery power to be efficient enough for use outside of a power strip.
