4 out of 5 stars Solid backup solution, esata is nice and fast   February 13, 2008

I bought this over a year ago. It's been great. I use the esata connection for my vista desktop, which gives me speeds close to my internal hd. My computer's motherboard does not support esata (nvidia 6150 chipset), so had to buy a sata-to-esata connector (screws into a psi slot), which connects to a sata connector on the motherboard, and an esata cable. In doing so, the drive powers up and down with the computer (like my internal drive), and also goes into sleep mode just fine. With the sata-to-esata connection to my motherboard, the drive can only start at boot-up (I can't turn it on/off while my computer is running). I use usb to connect to my playstation 3 and the occasional mac. Have partitioned half of it in NTFS for my vista desktop, and half as fat32 for connecting to mac's and my playstation 3. I use Acronis Home 11 software to manage desktop backup's (never looked at the software that came with the drive).

I wanted an external drive for backup. This drive and the included backup software filled the bill to a "Tee". Since it is the emergency backup drive, I disconnect it when not in use to protect it, and it is very easy to bring up or power down.

The only knock I have is that documentation is sparse for both drive and backup software, but it is straightforward enough for someone who is not a total novice (after all, it is plug-and-play).

I am running a very new HP Pavillion with Windoze Vista Home Premium.

My Desktop is only a 140 GB drive, so this 320 GB machine sounded great for the price. Once again, as an illiterate geek, I was disappointed to find NO instructions except how to plug it in. When I did get the main window to open, I used "SETUP" to install the software. But this is no simple 'drag and drop' situation. It also comes with two (1 month with option to buy) programs called Memeo Synch and Memeo Backup. This just made it all the more confusing. At the present time I have download about 19 GB of information, but it took literally more than 24 hours. I expected to just install and walk away with everything installed in less than 3-4 hours. If you are familiar with computer backup systems, you'll probably love this, but if I can't figure it out in the next few days, I'm taking it back.

This external hard drive is very stylish as well as useful. It is fast, easy to use, and has enough space to store all the data and multimedia a typical modern user would have.

I've had this external drive for about a month now, and it works great. When I first receive it, I used the pre loaded backup software that comes on it to setup nightly backups of my PC. That took about ten minutes. I highly recomend this product.
