1 out of 5 stars Mine crashed only after a year!!!   January 9, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Mine crashed only after a year. NO OPTION FOR REPLACEMENT! and I lost all my data. I should last longer than one year!


5 out of 5 stars Dream Drive   November 8, 2007
I bought this to store my music and videos. Works perfectly. It's silent, doesn't overheat, doesn't crash, starts up fast, and transfers files fast. Not much else to say. I use this to store the majority of my music and videos. I play them straight from the drive without any hangups.

There was one review that said it came with a usb port. Mine did not. Which is fine, since I specifically purchased this because it was firewire. The brushed aluminum case looks nice sitting next to my macbook pro.



5 out of 5 stars D2D backup   November 1, 2007
This is a great way to backup data. No more pawing through stacks of DVDs or rewinding tapes. I like that it has a power button so that I can leave it plugged into the firewire port then just flick it on for backup.


1 out of 5 stars Crashed Within Days   September 27, 2007
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Yes, I see all of the glowing reviews of this drive, but to be balanced, I bought one, installed it on my Mac on Friday as a backup drive, it worked fine for three days, and by Monday it was clicking loudly and wouldn't spin up. So, I guess for every nine of these that are good there's one that's bad. I'll probably spend more and get a Maxtor/Seagate/Western Digital.


5 out of 5 stars This is an excellent silent, fast, cool-running drive!   September 24, 2007

I have two of these units in my video editing suite. I will be buying a third shortly. How's that for an endorsement?

These drives run nearly silently. They remain cool, even after hours of video editing or animation rendering. After eight months, they have yet to cause any problem at all.

An excellent product.
