Poor backup option in image mode
If you purchased this drive and software (as I did) to restore after system crashes you may be in for a rude surprise - the included Safetydrill software does not (as claimed) delete older versions of backups as required to make space for newer ones, instead it MOVES them to [...]

Perfect for my new MacBook Pro
Wow, talk about plug and play! Just plugged this baby into my MacBook and Time capsule recognized it and asked when I wanted to backup and how often and voila that was it. Nothing to install. I love it.

Better than the Competition
I got this drive as a tote around for Video and Photos. I’m both a Mac and PC user so my insight is unique on this product. First thing I noted after opening the package is the small size and weight of this drive. With the curved lightweight body you could easily [...]
