Does the job

Nice looking, pretty much plug in and start backing up photo collection. I was expecting long waits but is pretty fast. Integrates nicely with my laptop and printer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Backup Drive

Review
I am using Windows 7 Professional with USB 2.0 port.
Followed instructions in the included Quick Setup Guide. Utilities and complete manual are on the drive. The included format utility saves the files on the drive and writes them back after format. I formatted the drive to NTFS for use on windows which only took a few seconds, it completed much sooner than expected. I especially like the eco Manager utility which puts the drive into sleep mode after a specified time (default 5 Min.) This turns off the drive when not being used. It will wake when accessed by any application. I am using Sync Toy to backup all of my important files, music and pictures on a daily basis which only takes a few seconds after the initial backup. I have also created a complete system image with windows backup just in case of main hard drive failure and replacement. The 1 GB drive has plenty of capacity to last me for many years as I have only used about 10% so far. I shared the drive on my network so other PC's could have access to it.
This drive has worked perfectly with no problems. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to protect their important files, pictures, music and programs.
Pros: backup for my business accounting and cad files., backup for all my personal files pictures and mus
I would recommend this to a friend!
