Title: Have a backup for anything on this
Review: You're tempted to have this device serve as a backup of documents on your main computer, but I'd advise you to have a backup of your backup because you can't rely upon this product to serve you long term. We've had 2 now of these spontaneously decide to die on us. Both are in well ventilated areas and have been sitting on desks doing nothing other than sitting there and running. The first one I wrote off as perhaps a lemon, but now a second one this morning decides to just up and die. I'm not talking where the data disappears and you can reformat it, I'm talking connect it and it makes loud clicking, cracking and whirring noises. As an IT person, I'd have sworn someone had dropped this thing from 10 feet if I hadn't known for sure it had been sitting on a desk. Sadly, this thing does not serve the Seagate name and quality that I'd been expecting.
