5 out of 5 stars Good solid drive. Fast and looks great with my mac.   October 12, 2008

Very fast transfers and pretty blue light. The eSata connection is the fastest available for personal computers. I use it with Final Cut Pro and Pro Tools.
Great drive.

If I could get this to work under e-sata than it would get 5 stars. But that is most likely Windows or a hardware on my end, I couldn't get a Western Digital e-sata to work, either. So it is most likely not Acomdata's fault. Works great under USB2, and you really never need e-sata speed except for editing or copying massive amounts of data.

I have been using Acomdata products for 5 years now, about 2 drives I used their enclosure to house my drive and 4 other Acomdata drives have hummed along perfectly for years now.

Both the 1 TB and 705 GB use a Samsung internal drive, a HD brand I have not had much experience with. But 6 months out, they seem to run great. Overall, the drives run quiet and the enclosures stay pretty cool. A real nice and solid feel, too.

I actually bought this on sale to pull the drive out and use it in my computer. I ended up liking the case itself so much I put another drive in it and use it all the time.

My only complaint is that the activity/power light is REALLY bright, which seems to be more and more common on externals now. I fixed that by sticking a piece of black electrical tape over it and leaving a sliver at the top so I can still see activity without being blinded.

The drive stays cool by spinning down when idle and is fan-less, but the case is aluminum for heat dissipation.
