... I am using this as a place to store all my excess photos and documents. The back up feature is weird, I don't like that it saves what you want in separate folders, so you end up having many copies of the same things. But I did not purchase this as a back up, just a storage place for all my important stuff so that I could free up space on my laptop. I love it and am not sure if I will ever fill it up. It transfers information SUPER fast and is very portable, plus it looks sleek. I would recommend this product to my friends. ...

... Very useful drive for backup. Automatically is detected by your computer and updates files that have been changed. However, if you have Windows VISTA and 64-bit OS, the drive DOES NOT WORK. Consistently crashes the computer when hooked up with the BSOD. Clickfree support was not helpful. Also, you cannot use this drive with Mac and Windows synchronously. You have to format and use one or the other. ...

... Similar to what other reviewers have said, I decided that I would try this external HD out even though the reviews were either hot or cold.

The first time I plugged the device in, it worked perfectly. I had no problems with mounting or ejecting it, and its transfer speed was fine. However, the second time I used it, an error message came up saying that either my USB device or USB drive was having issues and I could not access the device. I tried to troubleshoot as best I could, but nothing worked. My computer has never had any trouble with the USB drive before; and it hasn't since. The only reasonable conclusion was that it was the device.

I returned it for a its 30-day full refund, so it was no loss to me. ...
