I've got the 500Gb one and it's great, but isn't it the 1Tb version that's loaded with DRM?

looks like that might just be to do with some software which comes with the drives.

looks like there is an app that allows you to access the drive via the internet and thats where the DRM is.

things are looking up...

where ever there is DRM, there is a revolution.

Tempted, not much more expensive than getting 100 TY DVD-Rs now for backing data, and probably last longer and easier to access too.
