I have had my device since November 2007 (when I switched to Mac). Apple had just introduced time machine and so I wanted to have a drive. I soon found out that this is not enough storage for time machine so I upgraded and this became a backup drive.I have loved the fact that the usb cord is connected to the device. I carry it in my backpack (in a side compartment) and it goes with me everywhere. It has almost been a year so I am considering other options. Hard drives will always fail at some point. That is just the way things go, so never put all your eggs in any one basket. That said, this little device has been invaluable for me, saving my neck on a number of times when I could not carry all the files I needed on my computer but my handy little drive was right there with the stored files.The device is very fast and worked with my PC when importing files to the new Mac. (Basically I dragged everything from the pc onto the drive and then hooked it up to the mac and dragged them onto the desktop.)

I hardly ever give 5 star reviews, but this thing is perfect! Small size, large capacity, no power cord needed. Just plug into a USB port and back up your data. And easy to carry off site or traveling.I never understood why these Aegis Apricorn HDD's weren't more popular. Mostly what you see are Iomega and Western Digital for some reason. Apricorn HDD's are far superior IMHO. I've had all three for many many years. Iomega gives me a lot of grief and their support sucks. They are so overrated. I've had their other products too, like a DVD drive, but will never buy Iomega again. WD was better, but clunky and noisy. Aegis is best! Never a problem, light weight, no power cord, and it just works!

Excellent - easy to use - compact - self powered and great software included. Plenty of room to back up whole HD images for both of my laptops.
