Good my best The MiniStation Extreme NFC has software that enables you to schedule automatic data backups from your computer to the drive. One limitation is that backups cannot be scheduled in weekly or monthly increments, and are limited to hourly backups up to 24 hours in advance. The software interface is a bit complex, which you may find challenging, and there is no wizard to walk you through the installation process.Additional software security features include hardware-based encryption, which allows you to password protect the drive. You canalso use the included NFC smart card, which enables you to bypass password entry to gain access to the drive.The external drive weighs 10.5 ounces and measures 5.5 x 3.5 x 0.8inches. Although it is encased within a plastic chassis, it was manufactured with military-grade shock resistance and, according to the manufacturer, can be dropped from a height of 3.9 feet ( 1.2 meters) . It is also dust and water resistant, but not waterproof.
