There is also some backup software included on the drive that you can use to backup your files to the drive.
Installing it was very simple – just a few clicks of the mouse….
A new shortcut was placed on the desktop called TotalMedia Backup.
Using the software was very easy – you just have to select what you want to backup.
Obviously you don’t have to use the software at all, but it is useful to have something included in case you do want it!
Testing the Drive
Testing the drive with the usual HD Tune Pro produced the following results:
Final Thoughts
One of the things I liked about this drive was that if you had it connected and the power switched on but the computer switched off, the drive would remain off and draw no power.
I have to say though, the drive can get quite noisy when in use, so if you plan on using it constantly you might want to put it behind something or out of the way.
On the whole though I liked the drive, it looks good with its silver casing and pulsing blue light, and it’s 2TB which is never a bad thing!
Looking forward to a USB 3.0 version next!
Cost wise, the 2TB version sells for £107 in the UK and $133 in the US, and as usual look around for some deals.
