so far, so good! July 31, 2010
F. Rosenstein
I think I've got the hang of it, and I am very computer use challenged!
 An easy way to backup data July 31, 2010

review of the backup drive
there is several things I like about this backup drive. One thing is quite small and is easy to hook up. Have it sitting on top of my computer with a double-sided sticky tape holding it in place. I like the size of it it is very small. The software seems to be very well matched with the unit and I was able to use it without any instructions. At this point I have found back to my computer and my wife's computer on the drive. I am very happy with it
 Does not mount reliably, leading to strange errors July 30, 2010
Michael D. Hayden
The drive does not mount reliably, and when tested, it seems to show boot sector errors that cannot be fixed. However, if I simply reconnect the drive or restart the computer and then test again, it shows no errors at all and runs as expected. The upshot is that I can limp along for now (it's just one drive in a rotating backup), but I expect the drive to fail in the near future and I cannot recommend it to anyone else.
EDIT: My drive is about seven months old, but since it's part of a rotating backup, it wasn't used for the entire seven months. Other reviewers say their drives failed around the same time. Defect?
Everything is great about this hard drive July 30, 2010
William D. Myers (Cleveland, OH)
I really have nothing to complain about and this product has worked flawlessly for me for the past several months. Definitely a good purchase. Will be buying again from Seagate soon.
Backup software very poor. July 29, 2010
Richard Roles
I purchased this a month ago it use to backup my two computers. AfterI had to reformat my hard disk today I found out that I cannot just restore my files. All I can do is click and drag the files. A Google search will turn up many people unhappy about this. This was the response of a Seagate forum moderator to a similar complaint.
"I asked one of our techs, and he said that the Manager restore function isn't that strong anyway, really. Bottom line - this drive is not marketed as nor was it conceived of as a product with a high-tech, super-strong backup program. It's a storage facility, and that's it.
So, to restore, drag and drop, copy and paste, etc...
I hope that helps. For full, disaster-recovery backups of your system, ie, your entire C: drive, programs, operating system, settings, registry, all that stuff, use DiscWizard's image backup. It is also free. I know that doesn't help at this precise moment, but I mean for future reference."
You have been warned.
