As long that your backup is not more than 9GB, this is a dual layer rewriter, remembr to use dual layer 9GB disks otherwise single layer 4GB disks are just fine, anything bigger backup to another hard drive if possible. Hope this helps.....

This will work as well as any other drive. The advantage of this style unit is that it is self contained. There are many external enclosures or NAS boxes available that will do the same thing. This is a reasonably priced plug'n'play method. Just make sure you know how much data there is to backup , then make sure you get something equal to or bigger in capacity. If you love your data then multiple backup drives are a smart option. I am not a fan of Apple in general but the backup software they include with OS X (Time Machine) is quite nice.

I just got one of these to back up the data on my Win8 laptop. It's as slow as MUD. I connected an external hard drive to the SAME USB port, and it was FAR faster. Avoid at all cost.I'd suggest this as the best alternative (get the 64GB for $50 rather than the 32GB for $45): Mushkin Ventura Pro 64 GB Flash Drive. It is USB3 but works very well on USB2 (and it's fast there too). One Xbox 360 user said it works perfectly (read the comments). Here's the link: Mushkin Ventura Pro 64 GB Flash Drive - MKNUFDVP64GB (Black)

Yes, that is typically how a RAID controller like this is used. You shouldn't have a problem.

I just finished installing this 1TB and it worked like a charm... 828GB free out of 931GB. I'll update this if any thing changes...

I have a "very old" External Hard drive...not this make/model...I turn it on once/quarter to backup recent files...it's probably over 3 years old. Recently, I bought one of these WD Elite 500GB models...my plan is to backup on two externals...in case one fails. I know this seems lame, but it is the only way to ensure everything sticks around. Seems like its worth the extra $100.

I don't know. You might want to do a bit more research on the External Drive and the xbox in regards to requirements of the xbox and the capabilities/specs of the drive.

I am currently using one in a windows 8 computer. It works but I haven't used it to burn anything yet.

I have a DS409 that is about 5 years old now. I built a FreeNAS box 2 years ago and have had a lot of issues (12x3TB drives with 2 as hot spares and 10 in raid z2)... The FreeNAS version I used didn't pick up the hot spares as two of my drives failed and the SAS/SATA card I used has been buggy... not that Synology boxes never fail... I'm thinking of getting one of the 12-drive ones to replace my freenas box. I upped my DS409 to 4x4TB drives to backup my freenas until I resolve the issues. Having done both, Synology is a better option imho.

I would recommend using one on Thecus's compatibility list: http://www.thecus.com/download/compatibility/hdd/N4520SERIES_N2800_N4800_N4800Eco_N5550_N4510U_N7510_HDD_SSD_list.pdfAlso consider that Enterprise rated drives will last longer and potentially perform a bit faster, but might not be worth the price bump for just backups.

If your XBOX works with standard USB storage devices this should work just fine. I would suggest either a 32 or 64gb USB flash drive. I just got a 64gb from Amazon for about $12 plus shipping.

If Carbonite is working for you I'd say stick with it. Having offsite backup is a good idea since it's unaffected should you have a house fire, flood, etc. As I said my review, I have serious issues with the speed of this drive. Backing up 1GB of data took well over an hour. By comparison, I was able to download the 4GB Mountain Lion update in just about an hour, on the same network, and both via wifi. Other reviewers have mentioned speed issues as well, so if you are concerned about possible problems I'd say that's the biggest possible one.

I am also using the WD30EFRX drives and I would recommend them based on my experience. They have worked well for me. Their performance is good and they're quiet. They're designed for NAS and they're priced well.

Yes, Under x64 16TB is seen depending on your configuration, partition type, For more info please See: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2581408?wa=wsignin1.0

This isn't a fantastically robust controller. If you are concerned about performance, go with a higher end RAID controller. I've been able to crash this controller with 24 disks in a raid6. I know that's not a great use case, but it's a good representation of what you can expect on this controller.

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, the Disk Utility reformat mentioned above in Andrew's post is spot-on. The drive so far as been great to use. However, I'm running Mac 10.5.6 and it was immediately recognized when I first plugged it in: it mounted and Time Machine asked if I wanted to use it for backups... I did the reformatting anyway as the apps on board are no use to a Mac owner. BTW, the $99 price was unbelievable! Fingers crossed on reliability, Yikesboy

Yes, but honestly I wouldn't recommend it. Having a drive fail on that setup would kill you and the interface that your presented with on this device really limits the usability of anything over 2tb
