Customer Reviews

Perfect external for DierTV
Connected the eSATA cable to my HR21 receiver and began recording HD movies and programs flawlessly. The only complaint is the anoyingly bright lights on the front panel.

Good Value but on the noisy side
I use this drive in Raid 1 for my digital photos. The drive is a good value for this purpose.

If you have a spare SATA port in your computer, this drive comes with all stuff necessary to hook it up in the esata configuration, and you don't have to buy anything else. However its fan is fairly loud all the time, even if the computer itself is turned off. I find it a little annoying at times. This is the only reason I didn't rate it with 5 stars.

Good drive
I have been using this drive for about 6 weeks and it seems to work well. It has had no issues and even looks good. It's a little loud from the cooling fans, but nothing I can't live with. The software documentation could be better, but overall I'm very satisfied with this drive and would purchase again.
