Most Critical Review

Does Not work

Seagate Backup Plus 1TB 2.5" USB 3.0  Black Portable Hard Drive
Seagate Backup Plus 1TB 2.5" USB 3.0 Black Portable Hard Drive

Pros: None as I have not been able to use this drive after the first time I plugged into my PC.

Cons: Is not recognized, drivers fail to load. It does not work

Overall Review: Do not use on a PC running WinXP. After speaking with numerous techs at Seagate, Win 7 and above are preferred. I did not know this from the start so naturally I tried to save a backup of my WinXP machine on it in order to transfer settings to my Win7 machine. Now the drive doesn't work. I have contacted Seagate numerous times without success. I have files on the drive and no way to delete or even recover them. This has been a nightmare.

Jury still out but so far so good

Pros: Wireless. Can be set up basically anywhere within range of your wifi connection. Pretty fast printing on paper. Have not tried on photos yet.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: have not been able to get my Samsung galaxy to connect with the printer yet. Time will tell but I am not sure why some people have had connectivity problems to their pc or network. I had mine up and running wirelessly in about an hour after opening the packaging. The printer is stand alone and my pc connects through it via wifi network router. So far it works flawlessly but now I have to get my mobile devices connected to it. That seems to be a little more complicated.

Pros: Great card for the price I paid. This is truly one of those best bang for your buck type cards and with the prices coming down even more and rebates added you can get two for almost the price of yesterday's one when these first came out.

Cons: No cons for me to report

Overall Review: The cooling fans can be a bit loud when running full tilt, but for me at least I know they're working
