CCC is great, but it doesn’t back up in near-real time and doesn’t do versioning. It wouldn’t have saved my butt while I was on the road last Friday like “built-in” Time Machine in my SD slot did.

How reliable do you find it? I suppose if it's just for catastrophic emergencies, it will probably work through needing to use it. I'm guessing it will fail to write before it fails to read.

  Probably? But two or three years for a fifty dollar chip is nothing to sniff at.

How does this work with mounting/unmounting, power cycling, etc.

  It doesn’t unmount unless you eject it. No issues with power cycling.
