I'm using the newer faster version of this product with USB3 connection but the spec is similar to this one. Note though it's essentially a BACKUP solution so you can really only image or clone entire HDD's -you can mount the image too if you just want to extract a particular file etc.įor ARCHIVE (i.e DATA storage that doesn't change much such as say Music / local video) I have this on NAS servers which I backup regularly with a Linux program Backup Edge which archives regularly to 2 X 6 TB external drives housed in Hornetek enclosures - 2 X 2 3TB HD in each drive.

I've found FREE MACRIUM entirely reliable and efficient too. I've tried various backup / recovery software in the past including ACRONIS which I gave up at about Acronis True Image 2012 or thereabouts due to incredible bloatware and horrendous activation issues.

Free Macrium is definitely one of the Better versions of DECENT FREE software that doesn't keep pestering you to upgrade - many people on this Forum use it regularly -including me.
