Features
It doesn't ship with backup software, just file-synchronisation software, but this serves a similar purpose. A two-plug USB splitter cable and a six-pin FireWire cable are included so you shouldn't need to use an external power adaptor. The bundled Retrospect Express utility can back up your files according to a schedule and can store previous versions of files.
Conclusion
Based upon the competition i would choose this drive, it is a good performer and should be suitable for those who require alot of GB's in a good box.
