i’ve had the bissell that heats up the water and regular water cleaner(bissell) and rented several none as good as this hoover steam vac f5914-900. i have an old dog whose dieing and he’s very messy if you know what i mean every time i clean up after it’s as good brand new, not kidding, i seen some reviews before i bought it, they bitch about not holding enough water a gallon is plenty and it gives you a chance to take a break and review. buy it before they raise the price. donn

Disk crashed after 6 months of use. All the data on it was wiped out, just like that. I have an IOmega that sits right next to the WD, and that has been running fine for over 2 years, so I know its not something in my PC or the heat in the stand that caused the crash.

On the plus side, Western Digital has a replacement service that is easy to use and they shipped the replacement drive out fairly quickly.

Great Product if you don’t want to worry about actually scheduling and going through the motions of backing up your data. Automatically backs up when you save your info to your computer! Setup was very easy as well-just plug in the USB and configure your settings of what you want it to Auto-Back Up. I have 2 (one 500GB and one 1TB) and am thinking of purchasing 1 more!

Ordered one of these for the boss.

First of all, the drive comes with this “virtual CD” firmware that makes a fake CD mount to your computer every time this drive gets plugged in. As far as I know, you can’t disable it, and it’s extremely annoying.

Secondly, apparently the cable connection going into the drive sucks. Not only is it a proprietary connector (not mini-USB), but it apparently disconnects itself because of the poor connection points.

Finally, I actually tried out the backup software, believe it or not. Normally I stay away from the stuff that comes packaged with drives, but thought I’d give it a shot. It sucks. It uses tons of resources, doesn’t back up when the computer’s idle, and does back up when in the middle of working on something – not exactly quite as advertised.

I ordered the predecessor to this model which had much better reviews. As soon as it comes in and I move the data over to it, I’m returning this model.
