    Maybe it's because my computer doesn't run Windows, but I've had a horrible time with error messages and the convoluted maze of required programs during the setup process. Everything was going well for a couple days. Eventually, though, it became a paperweight. On the bright side, it seems more reliable at that than backing up the contents of my MacBook Pro. (yes, I formatted it and did everything I believe was necessary to ensure its functionality from setup on)

    Works well, the password protection feature works through an app on the PC and is more cumbersome than I assumed it would be.

    It is a back up! It was purchased to resolve a problem, which it did not resolve. Not a product flaw, it was a management flaw.
