 eSATA didn't work November 18, 2008
This product does NOT have an external power supply, but relies on the USB port for power. This is a good thing for a portable drive, in fact was a major reason I bought it. However, eSATA ports do not supply power, so you have to hook up the USB as well when using eSATA. This unit does come with a two-pronged USB cable that helps to provide more power when necessary. I tried this, but unfortunately, nothing I tried would get the drive to mount when I had the eSATA port connected. Thus, I returned mine as defective.
If you don't care about the eSATA problem, however, I would definitely recommend this drive. But, since I was looking specifically for an eSATA drive, I rate it at 2 stars.
 Simply Terrible October 30, 2008
Were it not for the very good return policies of Amazon, this would have been my worst online puchase, ever.
My first external drive arrived and would not mount via the e-SATA connection. I sent an e-mail to Accomdata, which says on its Web site it will respond in 3-5 days. I sent my note weeks ago; I have yet to hear back.
So I requested a second external drive. Same deal: wouldn't mount via e-SATA. So on my own dime I took my PC to my local shop to make sure I didn't have bad hardware. Nope. My PC was fine, but when they ran diagnostics on the my brand-new replacement, they discovered the drive itself was bad. And I got to pay for gaining this knowledge.
I can forgive one bad item. What I can't forgive is shoddy customer service and a second unit that was as bad as the first. Caveat emptor.

I purchased this to replace my 160GB hard drive that just wasn't cutting it. I like the 2.5" drives because they are USB powered and don't require a bulky power cord to carry around. I checked the Seagate, Maxtor, Iomega and others. The acomdata is by far superior. It offers USB 2.0 and eSATA. It feels very durable and the enclosure is wrapped in leather that matches the carrying case that comes with it. Best of all it was cheaper than the competition.
Excellent Drive September 8, 2008

This drive works better than I had imagined. I expected it to be slow based on other reviews but it's actually faster than I expected. Easy to use and recognized by my system as soon as I plugged it in. I bought two and would not hesitate to buy again.
