Customer Reviews

Dead after less than a year
Great product when it worked. Used for around 9 months in a continuous mode. Sat next to my PC and functioned as my main HD. After 9 months, I found that it was dead one day. No warning, just one day it was dead. Probably will stick to the name brands for data storage from now on -- WD, Seagate, et al.

Around the world and back... and it still works
I bought this drive about a year and a half ago to use as a video storage drive for a trip to Rwanda. This sturdy drive managed to take all of my abuse, bumping down roads, being flung about in my bag, and all the other travails of technology in that country. When I got back to the States, the drive worked fine. I also took it to Moscow last summer, and the drive remains intact. It now functions as a Time Machine backup for my Mac. While not the fastest external hard drive, I've been impressed with its durability given what I've put it through.

A year and a half and still going strong.
I have had this external drive for over 18 months and use it every day. It has been great for my use. I bought it for back-up but I use it for more than that.
It does run a little hot, but so far has had no effects on the drive.
