    backup works okay

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

    I guess it's my fault, but this device doesn't do the automatic backup when documents change. It only backs up full directories. I think you can buy additional software to do the incremental backups by versions. I don't remember having to pay extra for that the last drive I got. So it did the job of making a copy, but now it's out of date. I had asked the BB sales associate and he said it would do it. There isn't anything special about this drive. I wouldn't specifically recommend it. It's just an external hard drive. Those are a dime a dozen. I kept it because it was cheaper (on sale) than the other options.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The drive is working great. Quiet operation. The software tyhat comes with this drive is lacking. I use Macriun Reflect for backups and it works way easier than the software provided. I actually prefer Acronis.
