    While it certainly does the job, and does it well on 4G networks, the battery life can be pretty dismal. I get better battery life out of my phone, surprisingly. Plugged up, it's better...though better hope your power source provides enough juice to run it and charge it - many USB ports aren't enough.

    I got this after my old external hard drive crashed. My Verbatim hard drive was set up to automatically backup. If I want to automatically back up with the Seagate I have to do it through the Windows system which doesn't work very well. Not satisfied.
