Review: Don't Let It Get Hot!

WELL RIGHT OUT OF BOX,THERE WERE NO LIGHTS.SETUP VERY EASY,JUST DO NOT LEAVE PLUGGED IN FOR A LONG TIME(5 OR 6HRS.)IT STARTED DELETING FILES,LUCKILY IT SHOWS ON THE TOOLBAR,AT FIRST I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT,BECAUSE I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE FILE,BUT THEN I NOTICED IT WAS DELETING MY RESTORE FILES.I TOOK IT OFF THE SYSTEM AND UNPLUGGED IT.I THEN CHECKED MY RESTORE AND ALL THE CHECKPOINTS WERE GONE.I NOW JUST PLUG IT IN WHEN I AM GOING TO USE IT. [↑]

Review: Hard Drive Back Up

This item was received in good shape, was easy to install and works well. The only problem I have with it is trying to find a way to have it back up a network drive. [↑]

Review: Perfect Storage Device

It is very light weight, easy to use. I use it on linux, vista and xp and works like a charm. I have seen transfer rates of 10MBps till now, though it claims 60MBps. 10MBps is fast enough. Also, I love the way the long and slim orange LED blinks when data is being transferred.
I take a star off because I wished it looked and felt more sturdier, the plastic casing seems little cheap to me, but not a big issue as it is primarily intended for indoor usage with minimal movement.

Conclusion: A great product and for 90bucks, it is a steal.
Recommended: YES!!  [↑]

Review: Plenty Of Space For A Great Price

I purchased this drive about 6 months ago and use it every day and have not had one problem with it. I reformatted the drive to work with my PS3 and can now enjoy a 500+ Gigabyte solution for my system for about 120 bucks.

The drive has a very elegant design and compliments anything it sits next to. It is obviously whisper quiet and has a great read speed. My computer and PS3 have no problem recognizing it.

Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an external drive solution.  [↑]
