Pros: 11 months of hiccup free backups.
Cons: Now I get "unrecognized USB device" errors. The female USB socket is the shortest of any device I own. It doesn't sufficiently support the cable and the top two female connector pins have flattened out and no longer make firm contact. Bytecc should recall these and replace the circuit board with one that uses an industry standard USB connector.
Overall Review: Buy something else. One lousy design decision ruined a good product. If my vote counted I'd have Newegg ship their unsold inventory back to Bytecc.
