    Leaves Something To Be Desired

    To the best of my knowledge the drive works just fine. However the instructions for using it leave more than a little to be desired. I was going to return it because I couldn't get it to work and there are no instructions with it except a couple simplistic drawings. After sitting on hold for a half hour with Portsmouth Best Buy I finally found help on YouTube and got it up and running. I don't think someone with little or no knowledge of computers would find this drive easy to set up.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This is a great backup drive. Does what it says on the tin, and I feel better knowing that my data is safe on a remote drive.

    this works fine, but I cant remember I have it in the usb port, move my laptop and the seagate disconnects. I wish I had brought thumb drives which do not come unplugged by mistake.
