"ESP failed,HD crashed after 21 days of download!"

by skyseassky on March 31, 2009

Pros: This machine seems wonderful out of the box, radio, game,recorder,backup,small.

Cons: Charger is a joke, resolution not clear for the price. Field test failed HD crashed.
Battery compartment is a joke.
Summary: This machine seems wonderful out of the box, radio, game,recorder,backup. I ve been shooting for 19 years and am not an angry person take this information for what it is worth, I bought this item so as to backup images instead of carrying a lap top thru Thailand. The machine was purchased 16 months ago but never used just charged to keep battery up. The ESP was only used for this trip/job. So loaded images into system on CF and SD cards from Nikon and Leica systems. After 21 days after downloading machine froze! First the machine had hard time shutting down then the battery fell out during shut down stage which caused the HD to crash reset button never worked. I am not hard on gear in no way,my gear is how I make my living so I treat it well. Back in USA, Sent to company they charged shipping both ways after asking RA #'s and explained there should be no problem just needed to reset HD (not format)! 2 weeks later said they could not fix, hard drive broken, nor can they give me any idea of what went wrong, this never happens! Read into Amazon reviews way down the list some people not so happy. SO if you are serious about your money or making images. Best bet buy a Apple lap top $999 and Hard drive $120 and go that route or carry enough cards for work. This also enables emails and music movies for $700.00 more! The Wolverine ESP is a waste of time and your hard earned money. I am just passing on info so to save you $300+ and some stress. Please don't take this as a angry review did I get a lemon who knows can YOU take that risk. Am I upset sure but mostly that the machine didn't perform very well.
