Title: Drive worked fine until it died
Review: I had this drive hooked up to my MacBook and MacBook Pro, and never had a problem with backups using Apple Time Machine. Everything was seamless and in the background, just how I liked it. I never really accessed the files on there, but just liked the peace-of-mind that came with having a year of backups available (80gb of music, 20gb of photos, etc.).Fast-forward to recently, when Time Machine started giving me errors about backups. After trying to delete old backups to make room (I wasn't sure if that was the issue, but I tried) and reformatting, eventually the drive was no longer recognized by the computer. Using Disk Utlity to verify/repair disk, and also to completely reformat it were all exercises in futility. From what I can tell, the drive is completely dead, all backups gone. Luckily, I don't anticipate needing my old backups, and have all my important files on my computer, but if I had important files on the drive, I'd be pretty peeved.
Is the review positive or negative?
