Seagate's Mirra Personal Server is designed to prevent the loss of data from
the hard drives in your network. This is especially useful in our current digital
age where many of us have traded in our filing cabinet for a "My Documents"
folder. However, the Mirra allows more than simple backups, it also offers such
features as synching multiple computers, restoring deleted files, and web access.
Our first look at the Seagate Mirra Personal Server.

| FEATURE & BRIEF |
Our Comment |
|
Sync content automatically between PCs and/or Macs
|
Great for a home network
with multiple computers. |
| Securely share content with
co-workers, customers, friends and family with password protection and controlled
access features |
In the workplace security
is of utmost importance, in the home it is ease of use, Mirra offers both. |
Automatically back up your
files and save the 8 most recent versions
|
Never lose a file again,
hopefully… |
| Stay connected to and retrieve
your content from anywhere through secure remote access |
This sounds like a handy
feature. Access is actually provided through the Mirra
website. |
| Easily set up and manage
content within minutes |
Hopefully it is as easy
as they say. |
| MirraGuard Data Protection
Guarantee protects you from data loss if your PC or Mac hard drive fails |
Full
details here; basically it is a three year guarantee for the
original purchaser to recover data lost due to a failure with the host computer
or the Mirra. |
| Worry-free one-year warranty
covers all parts and labor |
About the minimum a manufacturer
can provide. |
Noticeably missing from the list of features is the ability to act as a Network
Attached Storage (NAS) device, i.e. it does not provide any additional storage
space to use.
Out of the box.
