Title: Solid case, good drive, VERY BAD BACKUP SOFTWARE
Product review: If you're proficient with computers, this is an adequate device for backing up your files. But if you are an average computer user, use the Maxtor drives instead. The backup software is not intuitive and most users will unknowingly not backup their intended files.Strengths:- Nice package, sharp looking- Solid, fast driveWeaknesses:- The backup/encryption software is very slow and hard to use- The backup/encryption software doesn't work well with the Vista directories- The backup/encryption software doesn't backup new subdirectories that were created after the initial setup- The USB cable is too short- The device will not work on a USB 1.0 computer w/o a separate power supply- Can't mount device as an unencrypted drive in Windows XP/Vista (must use software to copy files)Overall, I wouldn't purchase this drive again.
