    With more than 10 computers I wanted a way to have each backup on it's own drive. More than large enough for each of them.

    So far, this DVD player is great, works perfectly. The only thing I was not aware of and I didn't do my research close enough is that it does not play BluRay.

    Helpful with software, but difficult to use with other disks. I can't even tell what is on the disk, but it is probably due to my lack of technology skills.
