Just plug it in, turn on the power, and enjoy an extra 2gb of disk space as if you installed a hard drive. Cons: Thus far I can't think of any cons. I guess the only minor thing is that the drive needs to be plugged in so you have 2 wires. I don't know if you could even get speed like this unless the drive had it's own power source outside of the computer. I am very happy with the drive and would recommend it to anyone needing extra space, especially if you have USB 3. Pros: Fast speed, decently quiet, plenty of storage, no compatibility issues encountered so far.
Attractive design, generally quite well put together. Cons: Failed after a year and a half of use. As other reviews have mentioned, this is effectively a trojan horse in the sense that inside the enclosure of my unit lays a Seagate hard drive.
This does not speak well for longevity, unless perhaps you've been lucky enough to receive a unit with a reputable brand HDD inside. Overall Review: If you do pick up this drive, I would strongly recommend having a redundant backup on a drive of a different brand. No backup automation that I neither need nor want. No backup button. Overall Review: This was to be my 4th Fantom hard drive.
Of the other 3, one arrived DOA and was replaced. Waiting for a refund. When they work, they're great. The trick seems to be getting one that makes it through the first week. Pros: Came with everything you need.
OS recognized it right away and the full amount of the drive. Easy to transfer files and backup. Cons: None so far. Keeping fingers crossed. We'll revisit in a year or so. Overall Review: Quiet running, simple, easy to setup and a blue LED to keep you company whilst it works. Add to cart. Price Alert. Add To Wish List. Are you an E-Blast Insider? Get Educated.

USB 3. Verified Owner. Pros: Lots of storage space. Cons: Dead after 1 week. Did you? Yes No. Learn More. The performance is as expected and the drive runs cool. Possibly buying one for the office as well. Not a big deal. Overall Review: I did some tests with HD Tune because newegg didn't list any deep specs on the drive. This is using it with eSATA. Cons: After a couple months or so, the drive disappeared. BIOS couldn't see it. XP couldn't see it. I tried several eSATA cables and several usb cables.
Windows recognized when the usb cable was plugged in but couldn't recognize it as a drive. It was, for intents and purposes, dead. Overall Review: Considering my options, and really wanting the data on the drive without spending money on a recovery job, I decided to void the warranty and pop the drive out to see if the drive itself worked.
I plugged it in and all was good. So now I have an internal 1tb drive with all my data safe and sound. I can live with that. It was still cheaper than buying the drive alone. I haven't seen this sort of review anywhere else, so I thought I'd just throw this out there. Overall Review: Had 2 of these drives for over 6 months now, and never had any problems with them. We also have 2 of Fantom's 1 TB external drives- they've been in use flawlessly for over a year.
The drives used for backups to take off-site, so are not running all the time. For our use, they couldn't be better- fast, reliable and compact. Pros: Tons of space, cheap price, silent operation!! I went with Fantom because I already had one of their GB drives which has been working well for me for a while now.
Overall Review: Got 2 of these, both seem to be working well so far. I haven't had these for very long yet, but they've been working well so far. I will certainly post back if anything goes wrong. After almost 2 hours of constant writing, it's warm but not hot, and I haven't heard it make noise this entire time. I would highly recommend this drive! Great price for 1TB.
This is good for power and for disk life -Simple, discrete looks -- good if you don't want anything flashy -USB and e-sata ports give you connectivity options -Hasn't failed yet! Pros: Newegg shipping was prompt,the peanuts are a pain.
Drive is smaller then my old maxtor gig. Nice case, runs quiet. Cons: 3 Months after we purchased the hard drive it started freezing during any transfers of high definition footage, which is all that my business needed it for. We were able to transfer 15 GBs of HD footage before that stopped working. We weren't using any software for the transfer, just dragging and dropping onto the hard drive.
Every time we try not it freezes. He consistently interrupted her in a condescending manner. I called up immediately after and requested his name and reference number. He wouldn't give me his last name, but once I had his reference number he was somewhat decent. But then when I had to call back with more information I got someone who said she wasn't in tech support so she didn't need to give me her reference number.
It sounded like her name was Metusa Karimi, but she was saying it too fast to understand.
