is a great, easy to setup and use external hard drive for storage and backup. You can set it up to either do everything automatically or manual, it's your choice.
I had to replace the hard drive on my computer and it was almost too easy getting everything back on the new drive. Plug in HP drive to a USB port (Doesn't have SATA). It sees the unit, asks what you want to do, clicked restore, it asks where do you want them restored, clicked origanal location and that was it, everything back to where it was on the old hard drive.
I have had the unit for about a year and a half and it's never missed a beat. Works great!
I am looking to backup my system - home desktop comp. used for computer graphics (win 7 64-bit). I was thinking of buying 1TB 3.5" (western digital) external hard drive which would be permanently connected to comp. However after checking user reviews on amazon it would seem that this is not a reliable form of backup with many customers losing data after the HD stopped working sometimes within 3 months.
I though maybe the most reliable way is to buy another internal HD (- i have a sata connection free)
Are there any better options I would appreciate recommendations about which make is reliable (and not too expensive)
