Customer Reviews

Amazing!
I've been reading some good reviews about Cavalry lately, so I decided to give this a try. Turns out it was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. My old external hard drive had a loud, annoying fan, but this drive is incredibly quiet. The black case is really nice, and the LED logo on the front looks great.

I backed up all my files and I still have tons of room. 1TB for this price is an amazing deal. Bare drives cost more than this!

Product Failed
Two of the three Cavalry 1 TB USB External Hard Drives I bought in December 2008 stopped working. One failed Feburary 2009 and the other March 2009. The power would come on, I'd hear the disk spin then it would stop. I lost my very important data. I didn't return them because I didn't want the company to have access to my personal data.

A Great 1 TB Drive at an Excellent Price
I had never heard of Cavalry hard drives, but I read several positive reviews here on Amazon and decided to go with this one. I have not been disappointed. Here are some observations I've made on the unit:

Positive Aspects:
-----------------
- The drive looks very sharp.
- It has a good sturdy metal case and can be side mounted on a enclosed stand, or sit on 4 small rubber feet on the bottom of the unit.
- The drive has a power switch on the back of it (something a lot of USB drives do not have, for some curious reason)
- The front of the unit lights up to let you know when the drive is on, and when data transfer is taking place.
- The power adapter has a narrow shape that will fit in a surge protector and only take up the space of one plug.
- This drive is extremely quiet. Quite a few similar drives I have used are quite noisy. This one hardly makes any noise at all.
- Data transfer rate is quite good. I have been very pleased.

Negative Aspects:
-----------------
- I honestly have nothing negative to say about this unit in any way.

I would recommend this drive to anyone that needs extra storage space. I am using it in conjunction with Acronis True Image to do a full backup of my entire computer on a regular basis.
