5 out of 5 stars Works here, works now   October 24, 2008
Bruce G. Montgomery (Columbia, MD USA)
I plugged the drive into the wall and the computer ... and it worked. End of story.


5 out of 5 stars Great Hard Drive   October 11, 2008
Eduardo J. Sanchez Alvarez (Ventura, CA USA)
The hard drive got here on time, and its a great product. I'm satisfied with my purchase.


3 out of 5 stars Good connectivity but noisy   October 6, 2008
T. Fortin
I like the many connectivity options with Firewire 400 & 800 & USB & eSata but the drive is very noisy which is a bit annoying.


4 out of 5 stars Solid Unit - Does what it says.   September 16, 2008
Rocky Ridge LLC (PA USA)
Works as advertised. I'm using it for video storage. I use FW800 which is normally fast...but for HD video it's slow. Glad it has e-SATA. My next purchase is an e-SATA card for my computer. Only reason I gave 4 starts is because it has a separate power plug unit. Portability is limited to an outlet near by.
