There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However - the included USB cable is improperly shielded. Not an issue ordinarily - unless you're on a laptop and using a wireless mouse. This thing interferes with my wireless mouse every time Windows writes to it.
Not a deal breaker, certainly, but definitely annoying.
UPDATE -
Lasted 3 years, 3 months, then the click-click of death. Not a problem, as I've been using SyncToy to mirror it to another drive, but I'm still sad to see it go. Worked flawlessly for 3 years, through multiple flights, as a live-drive for LightRoom photo work.
This should give you a bench for how long you can expect this drive to last with a moderately heavy workload.
The groove on the outside that is supposed to hold the USB cable is a joke. The cable barely fits in it and falls out easily.
I contacted customer support through Amazon messages to try and get help with it. They contacted me back via email within 2 hours asking me to call in, but I wasn't at my computer. When I called, they were closing in 30 minutes and the tech gave me his personal number to call when I got back to my office.
I called in, and tech (Mike) tried to get it working to no avail.
He apologized profusely and we agreed I would return it and order a new one.
About 45 minutes later (at 10:27pm) Mike called me back to tell me he had figured out the problem.
10 minutes later, the disk was partitioned properly and initialized correctly and works perfectly.
I cannot express how thankful I am to Mike for being such a great help. Not only giving me his personal number to call him after hours, but the fact that he called me back with the solution, blew me away!!
Kudos to you guys, I am extremely impressed with your great customer service.
THANK YOU!!
UPDATE-Gave it to one of my IT people and she came back this morning saying, after testing the problem probably is the unit is overheating. We were trying to copy large files so the unit does not have time to cool down between files. Unit is sealed (I assume for waterproofing, but there is till an open USB port) and made all from plastic. So heat can't get out, nor is plastic a good heat conductor to transfer heat to air around. She got it to work again by wrapping it in one of those cold pack you use for sprains, but that was only temporary also since the cold pack melts after 20-30 minutes, then you have to wait to re-freeze the pack.. Finally came upon the solution you can see in the photo attached. Placed it directly in front of a rack fan we had. With this it seems to write steadily for about 30 minutes. Can't say if it is this unit particularly or a design flaw. We will try today to get information off, reformat, and return.
