Recovery Drive Creation Failed

it worked fine for making a recovery drive.

Able to decode data off a very quarrelsome Intel Optane SSD for data recovery after laptop failed, when all my web searching indicated an external USB drive couldn't do it! High throughput.

Bought to replace a failed drive

I use this for backup and drive cloning and recovery with a Sonnet Tempo Sata Pro 6Gb PCIE card. Mac Pro 5,1 OS 10.11

Nice unit that provides a hard drive that helps with configuration recovery. This will be easier then managing the unifi app on your own VM or pi. I have not used the video camera aspect but look forward to it in the future.

I bought two of these for two different older Win10 computers with spinning hard drives that were degrading, making the computers very slow. First was my wife's nearly 9 year old laptop. First attempt at cloning drive failed because the computer shut itself off during the process. Be sure to go into power settings and disable automatic shutdown or sleep mode. Once I did that the cloning succeeded. Second PC was a desktop with a 250GB spinning drive. The SSD is 1 TB. Using the cloning wizard, it wanted to create a 217 GB Windows partition (same size as it was on the spinning drive) and it wanted to blow up the recovery partition to well over 700 GB. Well, that's stupid! It should have kept the recovery partition the same size and increased the Windows partition as much as possible. So I halted the cloning and restarted it in manual mode, which allows changing the partition sizes. In manual mode the cloning software made the correct suggestion: it kept the recovery partition and two small mysterious partitions the same sizes that they were on the hard drive, and it increased the Windows partition to 871 GB. So I accepted those sizes and did the cloning. Why couldn't the wizard have figured that out? Bottom line - pay attention during the cloning process to make sure the wizard isn't doing something dumb. Both computers are now running much faster than before. My wife is delighted with her new laptop. She says it is now super-fast. B&H sale price was great with free two day delivery.

I bought a Sandisk SSD drive that I then heard bad things about — regarding reliability — and was concerned since I had already started using it. Then I went and got this recovery protection, and feel much better about having gotten this drive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a drive to keep our tax information on, especially since our taxes involve more documentation than the average household. I will say that this seems a whole lot more complex than I was envisioning, especially once I saw the 34-page user guide. It was a bit daunting. It seems like there are 3 passwords total that can be used, one being a recovery password. It sounds like if I use the recovery password, it allows me to reset the main password. I have not purposely tried that method though. I do appreciate the option to have multiple passwords, just in case though. I am a little nervous that I will forget a password and get locked out, but I guess that is the risk I'm taking by having a password protected device.

Needed to create a recovery drive for the new computer. It was going to take 10.68GB. Verbatim is a trusted brand; and this was a good price, so I bought three.

I decided it was time to finally make recovery drives for several computers in the house, as well as a utility drive with several boot up images and diagnostics. This 5-pack fits the bill perfectly.
