    4 of 5 Good Drive, poor software Wednesday, January 07, 2009
    Dave from Lima, OHIO  

    This drive shines in the area of size and convenience (uses a single cable) not speed. It took several hours to backup my 250gb drive with less than 100gb of data. I purchased mine to do monthly backups of my desktop hard drive running Vista. I was disapointed to find out the software included is intended for Syncing files and reccomends strongly against using it for backup. I also had to reformat to NTFS. My version of Vista has a backup utility built in and I am trying it now. It doesn't seem as powerfull as Ghost but is way better than previous windows backup/restore.
