1.5 stars
Pros: Small, thin, and compact
Cons: My PC didn't recognise the drive when it got plugged in. Read the user manual and recommended that I plug in BOTH of the USP connectors to the PC. What? is this a joke? One device needs to take up 2 USB ports on a PC?
Summary: Went to their website and under the FAQ, it s... read more

"Drive died after 2 weeks of use."
Pros: Good looking, reasonable price, instant install on XP
Cons: Drive died suddenly. Was using it a the core of a backup system with about 400Gb of files. Now I have to return the drive (I'm glad it actually died quickly so that it's still under exchange warranty).
Summary: Can't tell if it's bad luck or if this is a p... read more

Pros: None. It failed with minimal use within 2 months.

Summary: This drive was a POS. I bought it, lost all m... read more

"It's a 1TB Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B"
Pros: Bought this from Fry's for $79 (at the store, not mail order). Pretty cheap for a 1TB disk. The actual drive inside is a Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B, model HDT721010SLA360. Only time will tell how reliable it is inside this weird enclosure.
Cons: Looks like we're back to putting electronics in wood cabinets. Wood isn't a very good conductor of heat, so I wouldn't be surprised if these drives fail quickly. This means the drive's only good for transporting data. Don't back anything up on it.
Summary: I mean, it's $79. If you don't like the case,... read more
