Buyer Reviews :
I purchased this drive a few months ago to use as a backup device for my Dell laptop at the office. Intallation was very simple and in just a few minutes the USB connected drive was busy making my backups. It's continued to work nearly transparently backing up my files with no attention required. And best of all when my laptop recently failed and it's hard drive was wiped clean I was happy to find all my backed up files readily accessible as soon as I reinstalled it on my repaired PC.
I'd give it a 5th star except for a few minor issues. First it's too big and heavy if you intend to use it as a portable drive. Also while the install documentation is adequate to quickly get you running the 2 software utilities have pretty poor documentation and only on the CD, no hard copy. The 2 supplied utilities, One Step Backup and Quick Synch are distinctly separate applications. At first I used the One Step back-up then began relying on Quick Synch to maintain my back-ups .. as I learned they don't work together as when I tried the One Step Restore feature it did not recognize my Quick synch back-ups. My files were intact however and were asy to copy back from the external to local drive with good old Windows Explorer. Finally the back-ups are slow (USB 1.1) and the software slows system performance at times when I'm running lot's of apps. All in all I'd recommend it and in fact am here buying another.
