I've had 14 of these drives, only had 1 fail in 3 years and that was refunded once I sent it back. Can't really complain about that.

Convert your own stuff (or do other things) then streaming providers can't remove it at their leisure. Horses for courses.

Couldn't agree more here. I've got 14 of these drives. One failed about a year ago after 2 years and got a refund for it.

Email to a Gmail account for a mortgage broker that has a business name? Slight red flag there.

One thing you must ask about these units is whether they charge from solar when the grid is offline. The older Alpha units wouldn't do this…

Such a shame they're Vodafone, garbage reception near me compared to Optarse or Telscum.

So basically the same as Telstra, with more competent support engineers that can understand English.

Careful with these units. They thermal throttle quite hard when under load. I returned mine and got a refund because of it.
