It includes some simple diagnostics, and automated backup controls, including setting specific folders and backup times. The software also includes an encryption option. While there are several steps to the encryption and decryption process, it’s nice to know that if someone takes my drive, they won’t get my data. I tested the drives by backing up my 168GB of media, documents, pictures, and studio sessions on all the drives… he software that comes with the FreeAgent is easy to use.

It seems to me that if, for example, the performance were to double, it might be worth the risk under certain circumstances. If you are talking a few percent improvement, it would be folly to risk the integrity of a backup device, possibly irrecoverably, for minimal gain. How much of a performance increase have you seen?

I recall the days of yesteryear when I had my externals set for Optimized Performance and a crash would happen or about a billion other possibilities (such as Visa rebooting on its own to install updates I did not want yet because I was running a backup or something) and I get back to my computer to find a trashed partition on the external drive because data only got written halfway. THIS IS DANGEROUS and I am shocked Microsoft still gives us this option as deadly as it can be for data, Dittos Chad, man I would not even THINK about doing this.
