Reviews of the Seagate Replica multi-PC (500GB)
-
CNET Review
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.
