Model Number: Click Free Total Computer 1T C6 Backup

Excellant device
Pros: quite and efficient?
Cons: no manual of instructions
Model Number: Not sure
"I received the unit and backed up both my desktop and laptop. It seemed to work fine but I have some questions as to the use. There was no manuel of instructions except to connect to the computer and let it run. There is no visable evidence of its progress or if there was any problem. It did not tell me when it was done or if I had to shut down programs etc.. I also do not have instructionas to restoring a drive if I need to."

Quick and easy
Pros: simple to set up and easy to operate.
Cons: you have to disconnect the drive from the computer
"I have been looking for a straight forward backup method for my main computer and after trying many software programs all of which had some bug or another i saw Costoc advertizing this product. Knowing the return policy of Costco I decided to give it a try. After hooking up the drive it first advised i needed to download an update for the software which I did without a problem. I then set up to do a complete backup and left it to perform overnight. Next morning i was greeted with a screen advising the complet backup was succesful and a check of the drive properties showed there was indeed a about 200GB used. I then set the drive software to perform a weekly backup. I have now had the drive 3 weeks and it faithfully performs the weekly differential backup. I have done a test by noting what new documents I created and images I had saved during a week and checked they were on the Clickfree drive after the weekly backup.(They were). I recommend you print out the 23 page user guide it will help.
I haven't had the need to repair or restore my computer so I can't comment on these features but as long as my files are available (which they are) should I have a computer hard drive problem I am satisfied.
Computer used: ZT Systems, Intel i7-870 processor @2.93 GHz, 16GB DDR3 memory, 2TB primary HD."

Clickfree needs to get their act together
Model Number: C6
"After reading the reviews on Costco it looked like I had a 50/50 chance of getting this to work. I had contacted their support earlier (only took them two weeks to email me back) and they said it would work with a fat32 system (which my computer is) and it was on sale so I gave it a shot. First try: the instructions were basic ("Just plug it in!!!!") though written in every language on the planet. It wanted me to reboot, did so. Then it wanted me to get their update. That took awhile and at the end it said, "We're sorry, you were unable to update, please try again later." I thought, "Why won't it work now if it will work later?" But I gave it a couple days and tried again. This time nothing: no reboot, no update, no automatic start. I found it on the control panel and played with every file they showed. Nothing would start it. Took it back."

BEST EVER USED
Pros: recommended
"Was skeptical after reading so many poor reviews yet I wanted a simple one click unit and decided to take a chance. I thought this will take forever but 35 minutes later it was finished downing my whole system. All the outer fuctions go. Yesterday I up graded in 14 minutes. Can't beat COSTCO one click 1TBC6 Desk top back up drive Item 581276."

not for average computer user
Pros: cannot think of any
Cons: did not do as i expected it
Model Number: CA3D10-BC
"The instruction manual did not address the issues I was having after I installed the device in my computer. For excample, the CF C6 was not able to restore all the files even after several tries. The instruction for deleting the files downloaded in CF C6 did not apply to my computer and did not work. I plan to return this purchase."

3 times the charm
Pros: very easy to use
Cons: out of box failures
"I had already own a clickfree unit which I really liked but not a total backup drive so I ordered one. The first unit arrived and was an out of the box failure. I returned it and ordered another one. The second unit arrived with the same problem. The box the unit was enclosed in was ripped and you can hear pieces rolling inside. Again I returned it and ordered a 3rd one. The 3rd one worked great so I am keeping my fingers crossed."

Great Idea but....
Pros: good concept
Model Number: C6 1TB
"The initial backup occurred without a problem. I upgraded the computer to Windows 7 and tried to then restore all the files & programs. Not all of my music files or photos would restore. I have had several error messages & contacted tech support but not much assistance there. The company is sending a new unit as this one apparently is defective. Unfortunately I had hundreds of music files & thousands of family photos and now many are gone."

Doesnt deliver on its promises
"I purchased this with the intent of having it be there in the case of a computer disaster such as a hard drive failure, etc. In testing the device, it does NOT live up to its claim of "Total Computer Protection". The one feature that it promised was the ability to move applications from one PC to another, which after testing this multiple times, reading the FAQ's AND contacting support, it plain didnt work.
Its too bad because I really like the other ClickFree products."

Clickfree
Pros: device works-easy
Cons: you can get a lemon unit
Model Number: 6c Desktop backup
"The first unit that shipped was defective so I called Customer Service and spent an hour trying to fix- They shipped out another unit which was a charm to get working. Customer service is a little slow, however it could be worth the wait. Overall they back up their product. Easy to get working and back up"

You are taking a chance on losing everything
Pros: i can't give it any pro's
Cons: junk
Model Number: C6
"Purchased it , then just before I started to use it I got the email from Costco about downloading a file for it. Plugged it in, connected it to PC and nothing happened. Wouldn't turn on. All of a sudden while handling it, I squeezed the body and it turns on. Then I tried to download the file and it wouldn't do it. So I try and get it to backup my PC. It did it, but took a long time. After it was done, I checked it and it showed everything backed up. Today I tried to view some pictures on my PC and the files were empty. Went to Click Free and the backup was gone. Lost all my pictures. This baby is going right back to Costco."

Did not work
Pros: looks nice
Cons: doesn't work on usb2 ports on a gateway computer, spent many hours trying to get this thing to work.
Model Number: 1TB C6 Desktop Backup Drive
"The drive is supposed to work on USB 2 and USB 3. I only have USB 2. I have seven slots on my computer, tried them all, and the ClickFree would power up and then do nothing. I have 2 other Seagate USB2 drives that work great. This product was useless. I did some research and downloaded the latest software because the disc had software driver issues. Trouble is, the new software must be able to access the Clickfree drive. I spent several hours trying to get this thing to work to no avail. I was really looking forward to an automatic backup of my system. Too bad this did not work. I did not get a replacement, just a refund. I don't plan to buy another one. I don't like returning products twice."

unuseable
"I plugged the device in according to the instructions, but got nothing. My computer is just not recognizing it. Now I have to either call the company to have them walk me through it (so far the phone just rings), or return it to Costco. What an inconvenience."

"Nothing is easier"? "Nothing" is better.
Pros: i gave them 1 star. you can't give zero stars.
Cons: not even heavy enough to be a doorstop.
"The "Click-free" motto is "Nothing is easier." It should be "Nothing is better, so stick with nothing." That's just what I'm going to do after I return the 2 pieces of junk I bought - stick with nothing."

2nd Unit works great.
Model Number: Clickfree 1 TB C6 total computer backup drive
"Had to return first unit since it did not communicate with my computer despite help from Clickfree. Replacement unit worked as advertised and backed up entire 47GB on hard-drive; (90% was programs and apps which is what I wanted). Have not needed to use it for recovery yet!
This was replacement for Rebit drive which had a hard drive failure after 6 months.
Would have given Clickfree C6 5 stars except for first unit problem"

Great external hard drive
Pros: ease of setup, scheduled backups, ease of backup scheduling, appearance of the c6 unit, free email support, backs up emails, user interface
Cons: scant troubleshooting info, email support responsive but slow
Model Number: ClickFree 1TB C6 Desktop Backup Drive
"Easy to setup and easy to use. Emailed support for troubleshooting help. It took 8 days to receive a response but the fix for the glitch I was experiencing was simple and easily corrected. First backup took less than two hours. Subsequent backups are unobtrusive. I've already recommended to friends. Couldn't find useful troubleshooting information without emailing support."
