I purchased this drive to ...

Disappointed that I failed to ask the question

"I've been contemplating getting a new external drive for some time. I'd been using an enclosure with an 80GB drive until I burned the drive out.

"I wanted this drive to back up the main C/ drives on my two desktops and one laptop. It has the capacity for this. But the backup software is only Windows and on a pseudo-CD on the hard drive and if that gets corrupted the backups would be useless. So I am using Acronis backup. Also have ordered an …"  Read Full Review »

"This product would work great if the file types would be recognized. AI, PDF, or anything stored inside a file...It trashes the data.
