2.0 out of 5 stars
major deficiencies with M-400 software,
By
This review is from: Seagate M-400 Mirra 400 GB Personal Server (Personal Computers)
Word of caution to potential buyers: I recently bought the Mirra M-400 for a home office with 4 networked computers and now may have to uninstall the software and throw away the 400 Gb hardware. The Mirra.exe software is an incredible memory hog and essentially shuts down our notebook computers and seriously degrades the desktops by taking over 90-100% of the system resources and will not let go of those resources! Type one word or open a new program and the software locks up the computer for another 5-10 minutes.
Their software control panel does not allow you to configure backups for a more convenient time or give any type of control over how this virus-like program functions. To date, the only way we can regain any control and functionality of our computers is to use (Ctl Alt Del) and then selectively terminating the Mirra programs. Its start-up command must be deeply buried in the registry as we have not yet found how to prevent it from loading during the Windows boot-up. The Mirra unit also does NOT allow you to back up or send any files from your network storage drives or USB/Firewire external drives, ONLY from "local drives" inside the installed computer(s). To date, the M-400 has been a real disappointment for us.

This review is from: Seagate M-400 Mirra 400 GB Personal Server (Personal Computers)
We bought this device in August last year for our small office. It was very easy to install and works flawlessly. We have it backing up 2 laptops and 2 desktops and have seen no issues. We also have not experienced any performance degradations.
