Pros: Quiet and fast. Good bang for the buck.

Cons: Ordered two drives for a RAID mirror. One was DOA. I have purchased many Seagate drives, this is my first DOA. Law of averages I guess.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: . Frequent paper jam errors (no jam) . Cleans itself more than my wifes cat.... I often have to wait for it to clean itself after printing a handful of documents. . Frequent loud snap/clcking noise. I'm waiting for a piece of something to come flying out. . Whe a color cartridge runs out, won't print my black faxes. . Fax log too small to be useful, log fills up and doesn't print faxes if a color cartridge is spent and you are not babysitting the device. . Tech support.....need I say more.

Overall Review: Don't buy it. In fact, don't accept it as a gift either.

Pros: Thinking

Cons: I forgot to mention in my first post. The first unit was DOA. The micro USB connector at the drive is marginal and this drive would not stay connected.

Pros: Automatic backup (sort of).

Cons: Data transfer is slow (expected). While the software is running in the "background" it knocks my Vista (3.GHz P4/ 4GB RAM) to its knees. Everything becomes a quick and wait. I have 3 hard drives: C; G; & H. The automatic backup only performs backups on the C drive. Unfortunately, my data is on the G drive.

Overall Review: I have a friend who bought the same drive for his Windows 7 muscle machine. He made the same comment about the backup software killing system performance. He disconnects from his system to regain performance.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: I bought two of these about 6 months apart. They both failed in about 18 months.
