Incredulous to all the reviews posted, my experience of this bulky thing is different: the USB cable plug at the back of the machine simply fell off on the inside of the casing. This is sadly how i found out that the casing cannot be opened without breaking the device! So not only the plug was stupidly poorly fixed (i didn't mistreat the drive) with a bit of glue directly onto the circuit board, so off course wore out within a year, but the absurd casing prevented data retrieval or repair. And given you can't have your money back if you alter the product with most refund departments, this is not so much of a back-up device as a one-stop data-loss centre for all your household needs! So, should you be foolish enough to be lured by the low price, remember that there is a reason for it, and don't move the drive about, don't unplug the USB cable and keep it glued to your desktop and connected at all time. This has been a waste of a year's worth of data.
If I wrote the review 3 months ago it would have got 5 stars but the usb fell off 3 days ago and I can't access any files. Company I left it into said it was the 4th one they'd got in the last week with the same problem so make sure your files are backed up somewhere else as well.
Please think carefully before buying one of these drives.
There is a common problem with this make of drive. It develops a loud clicking sound then performs slowly and eventually will die. Many of these are being replaced by Seagate but it seems the replacements are also doing the same.
I would urge people to seriously reconsider if thinking of buying one of these. Sadly, I will never buy anything from Seagate again.
I purchased one of these and as other people have found eventually they start clicking resulting in the drive damaging itself, the problem is in the power adapter not been man enough to power the drive, i swapped mine when it first starting clicking with an old WDBook PSU and i havent had any problems since
Its a good product but should be supplied with a better Power Adapter
