Storage Needed For Backups in One Small Package
596986
I use the drive exclusively for Norton Ghost backups of my main hard drive on my large screen laptop setup as a desktop. This drive provides me with sufficient space so my operating system and program files are backed up and I can have 6-8 complete backups fr easy reinstallation.

Good Price, easy installation, No Software (Use ImgBurn), great price, and it is nice to use only one BL disc to store and backup all the images that we have on the PC. Digital pictures add up so fast on a hard drive. Plus I have space to grow. Two BL for a complete 50GB system backup using Acronis True Image. Well worth it.

perfect item for building a mini cloud, backup you were wanting, or mini server for your self.

The most simple backup imaginable. Plug in and it is very straight forward. Just what I wanted. Slim design makes it very portable and able to back up all my devices wherever.

I chose this disk for my "disaster recovery" backup, where I can store it in a small fire safe in the house.  The disk is a perfect size and was easy to use and I had my back done within a few hours of receiving the package.  Well worth the small price of this for the storage and size.  I remember the old days of storage and huge disks that could hold hardly anything compared to today's standards ... we've come a long way baby as the ad campaign used to say.  I have other Iomega products and chose this based on my past good experience with their quality.

Makes a great backup storage drive just in case the others fail.

A very small hard drive with large capacity.  I use it to backup two home PCs, and still have plenty of room.  I really appreciate the fact that there is no power chord to drag around.

Great amount of storage for the price.  It's Really Small though.  I decided I'm just going to leave it in my computer because I will lose it if I take it in and out too much.

The Seagate Business Storage Windows Server 4-Bay NAS 8TB (STDM8000100) is a great device that can have small workgroups up and going with a solid storage device in quickly and easily.  It's packed with plenty of storage and power, comes with a solid operating system, and is simple to implement.

As someone that has implemented storage devices in main offices, but also branch offices, I can see where this device would fill the bill in several scenarios.  If you have Active Directory in place, this connects right up.  On the other hand, I can see this being implemented by non-IT professionals.  While the initial setup offers plenty of storage, it's expandable so that it can grow with your needs.  Expanding is also made easier by utilizing Storage Spaces, allowing you to pool drives.

The performance of the Seagate Business Storage Server was on or above par.  Transfer speeds were quick and while I did not have the option to let 50 users hit it, I can say that it held up well in testing.  The overall footprint of the device was pretty small, so it's easy to relocate to other locations/offices when needed.  The sound output was average.  You can hear it, but it can be easily used in a small space without being a hassle.

The server comes with Windows Storage Server 2012 Workgroup Edition.  It's more than adequate for workgroups up to 50 users that need to manage mass storage.  The Standard edition offers VM support, BranchCache, Data Deduplication, Failover Clustering, and networking infrastructure.  But the Workgroup Edition is more than sufficient for most setups and easy to setup and manage.  It also integrates well into organizations that have an existing Windows infrastructure.

I backup all my files on this tiny thumb drive.  The included file encryption software is very good.

Amazingly small for so much storage space. You'll want to keep it on a key chain or something because of the small size. Files transfer reasonably fast.

We've used these for years for removable backup drives. We rotate 8 drives on a weekly basis and put one into permanent storage every 8 weeks. These are inexpensive enough to not break the budget.

They don't offer much protection, however, and they aren't hot swap, at least with Windows Server 2008 R2. These days USB 3.0 drives would be a viable alternative.

Holds my backups and works in Everdrives. No need to go crazy with the memory for tiny kilobyte files. Get the smaller one.

I found the product to be just what I was looking for in an external drive.  It's very compact and stylish.
I didn't, however, like the software installed for backups.  I simply reformatted it and moved all of the necessary files over, from my laptop and desktop, and I now have a safe backup of all my important files.

Easy to setup and use.  Recommend external hard drive.

After spending on multipe "thumb drives", I finally realized that for just a few dollars more I could get a good 500 gb portable drive.  It's just great for backing up all MY Doc's, Music, pitures etc. Really like it.  Set up a snap, no formating etc.  Highly recomment this product.
