    Works as designed. Only draw back was the USC-C cord did not work. I substituted it with my own cord and it worked flawlessly.

    Loading the program at the beginning does not want to work well. After the program is loaded and running, everything works very well and backs up appropriately.

    I like it so far except that the USB connection is a little flimsy even when the cable plug is pushed all the way into the drive's USB C port.
