I bought this product a few weeks ago and its does what it is supposed to. I paid about 35$ per TB and the price doesnt drop much when you purchase more TB. Overall it was a good product at a fair market price.

Simple to use. The backup configurations are too simple for my purposes. I have several computers I want backed up and this device will not allow you to name the backups so you can't tell one computer backup from another. There was also a problem with the continuous backup feature. It seemed like every time my laptop hibernated with the drive in continuous backup, the desktop app broke. I had to reboot the laptop to get it back. In a nutshell, I only use it as a remote drive for all my computers and the back up service(Snapshot only) for one. The drive has been stable through out so it's still a keeper.

We are professional photographers and we use a lot of drives for storage. Seagate drives in my opinion are the best drives for being dependable and long lasting.

It's a Seagate! What more can one say? The only problem I see with the Seagate hard drives are the sharp corners. They need to change their mold. That is the only reason I gave it a 4 star rating

When you have a small office of say, 5 PC's, and they each have 500gb SSD drives, this is the perfect external backup HD to use on a weekly, monthly, etc. To backup all 5 PC'S with room to spare.

I purchased this on sale and it was a great deal. It's nice having an extra gig to permanently store pictures. I would like it if it stood up though, does take up more precious desk space.
