  • Black Box

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It’s a black squar-ish plastic box that contains some folders to secure items as you upload them to it. I don’t have a clue how it works because you barely receive it before you get this email to rate it. So, all in all, it comes in a pretty carton and hopefully it will do what it says it does.

    For what it is it works fine. It is very slow but I am OK with that because I am only using it to archive video. Only had it a few weeks but no complaints.

    Compact, quiet, and fast enough for backing up. I wouldn't want to try to work off of it, but I can save all my work at the end of the day, start the back up, and I'm good to go.
