Customer Reviews
Easy, Fast and Reliable
This is a GREAT external hard drive. It's fast (7200 RPM), can stream a movie straight off it and simultaneously backup a movie with very few lag spikes. It's quiet, only hear it every once in a while when it's doing some heavy duty writing/reading. It's Reliable, haven't had a single problem with it yet.
Best of all, the price is right. I wholeheartedly recommend this external drive to everyone.
Just plug the usb cable and plug in the ac/adapter and you're ready to roll. In fact, I'm going to go get another one myself.
From the Mac perspective
I bought this because it said it worked with OSX. I know USB is supposed to be a universal thing, but of course all us Mac junkies have had our issues here and there - even with hardware that's SUPPOSED to work. Well, no such problems here. I plugged it in, booted my computer, and the mount point appeared within 30 seconds in the Finder. The aesthetics of the product are nice - it's small, and you can stand it up so it doesn't take up much space. It's very very quiet, only a bit of 'chik chik chik' if you're moving gigabytes back and forth. And the price is oh-so-right for this much space. So if you're a Mac user and looking for some add-on storage, this is the one for you.
Nice hard drive
I didn't buy this hard drive on amazon, but thought i'd write the review.
Set up is really easy, just plug the usb and the ac adapter and you are ready to go.
It has a great design, a stainless steel look and a blue light in the middle that looks kind of cool.
You can put it standing up or flat.
Doesn't take much space.
File transfer is fast. I'm not really an expert and I don't count the nanoseconds or anything, but it works for me.
No problem playing video or audio from the unit.
I have noticed that when I leave it on for long periods of time, it does get a little hot, but since I only use to back up files from time to time it's not really a problem.
All in all, I'd say this is a good product.
