Several failures; I wonder if they were related to not allowing any space in the back of the unit once installed. Any comments from users?

You have to have some clearance on the top and sides. Have never had a failure and mine is between a wall and vanity in the master bath. I do have some room in back, though it is tight on side. Have over an inch of clearance on the top. Hope that helps.

I have this one and it's got a lot of room but you can't put everything the say it can hold in there, not enough space. If you're going to add lots of drives look carefully because on most case the drives will hit caps or video cards on motherboards. Try to find a review where someone says what they were actually able to fit.

Yes, there must be something wrong, or a few of the disk drives are loose. I would check/reseat the disk drives with the unit powered off. If this does not fix your issue, then I would return it, or get a replacement unit.

Call the customer support number. I hope it has improved. When I owned this unit, the customer service was terrible. This is one of the reasons I finally got rid of the unit. Bad unit reliability, bad design, and terrible customer service made for a bad ownership experience. Good luck!

yes it did for me but when it did it made my recovery just big enough for the files on it and windows kept giving me error messages that recovery was out of space. So I used " paragon partition manager 2013 free " to expand my "factory_image (f:)" drive. No problems after that. Im not the greatest but I was able to figure this out just by trial and error. You might even have better luck. Hope this answers our question. Feel free to comment back.

I have not had any problem with mine. I have been using it constantly for about 3 months now without failure.

I had no problem. It installed with no problems and I have been using it ever since, which has been over 6 months. This with my dad who has dementia trying to pull the sink (and succeeding on one occasion) from the wall. Perhaps you over-tightened it?

I tried it when initially setting up my system and it worked. I had the two long front speakers hooked up as the back and the sound was fine. I've since changed it back as I found two older speaker stands for the designated back speakers.

I did that and one side of the refrigerator failed in about a year. It is under warranty but with the shipping costs of returning it to the manufacturer it was not practical. I'm not sure if the under counter installation caused the failure or not. I left about 2-3 inches of clearance on the sides and top and 4-5 inches in the rear. I am going to replace it locally with a unit that is made specifically for built-in applications and vent out the front of the unit.

Yes. I have two 2TB Elements and have never had a problem. I have a 722, 722K and 622.

I did not install yet as I have to make some repairs in my house. There is a review of another customer -By THOMAS PAGET - that had problems but manage to solve them. Hope I don't have the same problems as Andrea C. Sorry that I can't be helpfull.

Not sure I sent mine back. The unit kept failing and performance wasn't that great.

Nope. I've had this for a few months and haven't had any problems. Maybe it's just a defective unit?

I'd like to know i this is an isolated problem - that would be a major factor in buying this unit. Anyone? Can you get RM?

I had the same problem... It doesn't work really well. You can see a small space with a screw. Go there with something really small... You need to be really carefull... For me it worked

I have not had any trouble at all with mine. However, I will admit that I only use it as a backup drive and it is only on about once a month for the length of time it takes to back up the drive it is linked to.

We went through 4 units with failures in each one. The product is a complete piece of crap. We finally gave up on it altogether. Good luck.
