The editors didn't like
The basic cradle should come packaged with it rather than be an add-on
Buspowered convenience means buspowered speeds (5400rpm drives)
Docking station and travel case are sold separately
Provided USB cable is rather short
Carrying case should be offered with HDD
Not the dock
Software may be too watered down for some power users
No hardware-level encryption
Backup software for Windows only
Backup software works on Seagate drives only
Accessories cost extra...
No carrying case included
USB cable integrated into the housing would be nice
Unlocking movie hopefully goes better for everyone else
Web portal to access movies is compatible only with Internet Explorer 7+
Movies only play in Windows Media Player 10+ or on FreeAgent Theater+
Not high definition
Movie has resolution of just 720x300
Separate Windows and Mac versions
Windows version lacks FireWire port
Windows-only software (in this model). Dock is optional. Software is document-storage-oriented.
A bit thicker
Heavier than other portable drives
Backup software is limiting and Windows-only
Some stability issues observed with backup app
A handy dock will run you an extra $30
And the drives packaging is tough to open
Short USB cable makes it inconvenient to use with some desktops
File encryption isn’t hardware-based
Packaging Needs an Overhaul
USB Cord for Drive is too Short
Metal Plates are not Securely Attached to the Casing
