Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have added and extensive update at my web site. Please read it here: (...) Thank you ______________________ I have totally rewritten this review so ignore the past comments. I was a supporter of this product for a long time, owning both a Fire Wire and the USB one. However too many screwed boots, lost directories and terribly long rebuilds lasting days on end means I am a fan no more. It looks and works great, until it doesn't. When that happens you realise that redundancy in hard drives is pointless when the unit itself is flawed and can fail to boot or not recognize its partition table. There are no tools to help you. No disk utilities will help you. When it fails you are screwed :-( I am replacing it with a proper server with mirrored hard drives. It will cost more but I will sleep much easier at night. If you buy one, use it for BACKUPS only. Do not use as your only data repository unless you want to wake up one day and wish you were dead. My units? One will go and sit connected to my media centre where it will look "cool" (containing music and movies stored elsewhere) and the other one might become a back up drive, but never again as the main data repository.
