Excellent service from Amazon July 31, 2010
E. Meiners (Mesa, AZ USA)
The first drive was a complete dud, and what it was able to do before it died completely... was slow. The good news is Amazon's replacement policy is EXCELLENT. Amazon sent a replacement drive by next day and so far it is working great! Two tips for increased speed of the drive for copy/backup use... 1) when you get the drive, perform a "quick" reformat in Windows to give it an 8k allocation unit, 2) disable Windows search indexing on this drive. I have tested it with these changes under both Windows Vista 64 and Windows 7 64... and it works quite well with either the standard Windows copy function or with Teracopy (a 3rd party copy replacement).
 Friendly shopping July 30, 2010

After looking for a good price and quality, finally I found this, I feel good and it's what I wanted.
 External drive works as expected, no problems July 30, 2010
Norman (Philadelphia, PA)
Easy to install. No documentation enclosed, so I didn't understand until I phoned tech support that it does not include software for automatic back up. You manually drag and drop files to the back-up disk -- which is OK with me. Support experience was excellent, reached tech support by phone immediately.
Good, fast drive...but-- July 29, 2010

It didn't come with instructions, so I had to call customer service to figure out how to set it up w/ a mac
Great media drive July 29, 2010
Kartman42
This drive is being used to hold the media for our HTP. It is doing a great job for this, lots of space, speed is fine, and since it is USB 2.0, setup consists of plugging it into an outlet and the PC.
