Solved: Seagate Replica 250gb

I looked at this unit and it appears to me that it would be ideal for my laptop. I need about 120gb for backup of my C & D drives. I'm not sure if this unit is the best and find no place to compare it to other comparable products on the market.

If anyone has used this product I would ask your opinion of its performance and one other question. How long does it take for the first download of all files.

Thanks

The good:
The Replica backs up the entire contents of a Windows PC hard drive, operating system, and all; simple setup; restoring a system is easy; step-up 500GB model offers option for backing up multiple PCs.

The bad:
Only backs up your entire system; you can't selectively move files on and off the drive; no Mac support; supplied USB cable is unusually short.

The bottom line:
While Seagate's Replica will seem silly and restricting to those looking for a flexible external storage option, others will welcome the singularity of its mission to back up your entire Windows PC.
But don't beleive everything you read, read Seagates spec sheet to see what it can and cannot do for you.

Looks pretty cool to me, but you never know everything it can do until you actually start using one.

The Bad: No Mac support.

Since when is that a bad thing? :p

Looks like a good product to me, and Seagate is a very solid brand.
