Is this a good external network HDD

I like it because it can be hocked straight up to my router, or any router, and all PC's will see it.
However, 350GB is maybe to small for a backup. But big sized ones are bad if it ends up crashing, you would loose more data then.

i've persionally never heard of the brand... have you googled it?

Check to see what brand of hard drive they use internally. Not a bad price otherwise.

Will do.

I found out that this is a re-branded Ximeta Netdisk, they just put stickers over that name. It also seems that there is a Seagate barracuda drive in there model ST3320820A.

What was that bad HDD to stay away from Maxtor?

Maxtors were bad for a time, but they got bought out by Seagate. Seagate drives are generally pretty awesome.
