How much memory? Does the zip retain the information until you can sync it to a computer? For a week or longer?

The zip retains your info for quite some time. Not sure exactly how long, but I've never synced and found I've missed info.

Without much hard drive activity...around 2 hours. With activity, maybe 1 hour 20 mins.

You can get up to 4GB of data on it, so it depends how much data you have on your computer.

NH Mom,What about option of using a memory device (with USB plug) that would have downloaded, via your computer, a latest update file?

Me too! I'm not going to seriously consider purchasing anything computer related unless I see the manual that goes with it. Is it (i.e., Canvio) truly plug and play? Can you selectively choose individual files to back up? I'm not at all interested in wasting time and space backing up files that I really don't wish to back up. (I only wish to back up photographs.) Filtering through all the comments, while helpful writ large, takes a lot of time when looking for particular information. A manual please.

The Spark will record and store your data up to 21 days (varies upon usage), and sync when you are near your computer.

I have always been skeptical of syncing data files and would suggest backing up and restoring your data file as you work from laptop to desktop and vice versa - or having your desktop be also the server and then access it from your laptop.

Hi, i tested it yesterday in response to this question. I transferred 3.9 GB of video files to it wirelessly from my Macbook Pro. It estimated 35 minutes but took just under 40 minutes to complete the task. At approx 4 GB to 40 minutes that's about 1 GB every 10 minutes. Hope that helps.

It'll take at least 8gb, but it's damn hard to find an answer anywhere. Micro SD.

I use it as memory expansion on my laptop - I currently have 100gb active data on it - it is convenient to move primary data between my two laptops. I have been told that it is possible to exceed the read/write capacity of the device (wear it out electronically); but it still works ine in my application.

I load extra software on it,it works fine.75-80mb per sec when you copy files.

Can't answer Davids question because the gadget never would sync any data. Right now, it is on a shelf in the closet and I no longer use the website. Really a bad, stupid purchase.

No. It has memory the data. How much time, I do not know whether valid, but it had been unplugged about 24 hours, it was all right.

No! Memory is preserved for zones However this is useless because the current time/date has no backup and is lost

Didn't notice a difference. Freed up 70 gb on my 256 ss mbp retina 15". You just have to change of the location of the folders and its just like anything else. Can't comment on the syncing part since what ever I buy on iTunes downloads from the cloud to all my apple devices.

Yes it stores what you write in the memory until you transfer the saved data to the computer
