    I had bought this after comparing it to the Western Digital external HD of the same size. The price was better, and the connection speed was faster. The initial set up of the software was a piece of cake, then it came to the first backup. It at and froze at 3% for well over an hour and made no further progress. I was patient and let it continue, and after a few hours the backup was finally complete. After this, the backups have been extremely easy. Don't be disheartened if it seems to freeze on you at first, since it will work. Just hoped the process would have been faster to begin with, and show more accurately what the progress actually was.

    I bought this HD to back up my media collection. It appeared in the file manager as an external HD right after plugging it into a USB 2.0 port without the need to load any drivers or app software. All I had to do was drag and drop my media directories in the file manager. The copy process was a bit slow, since my PC doesn't have a USB 3.0 port. I do not plan on using the included backup software, so am not able to review it.
