Customer Reviews

After a week my computer refused to recognize the drive
It's good that I had not stored any critical data by the time. I have asked for a replacement drive. It is highly unreliable. Once I get the replacement, I will only use it for storing some redundant copies of photos and other media. I will never trust any critical data to this device.

so far, so good
I bought the drive because I began storing a lot of work-related data on my home pc and I was tired of backing up to DVDs (though I still do but with less frequency). The system is quite fast if you use the eSATA connection and works well with other backup software (I use Ghost 14.0). It's quiet and set up was very easy. Windows XP had no trouble recognizing it. I've tried a restore of selected files with no trouble though I haven't tried a full image restore. The only thing that is the least bit annoying is the aircraft landing light they put on the front. It's an actinic blue and more than a little irritating since all it does is indicate drive use. That's a pretty small issue so, on the whole, I'm very happy with it.

So far.... So good
About a month using it without a problem....
The only cons are that it get hot and mine didnt bring the plastic part to put it vertical..
