Customer Reviews

Great value for money, and uses a WD Caviar 1TB disk
Arrived well packaged, and was easy to install and format. It came formatted as FAT32 but it was easily reformatted to NTFS, although you'll need to wait for over 3 hours for your system to complete this. This drive is currently great value for money. It looks good, it runs cooler than my 750GB external MyBook drive AND it contains a Western Digital Caviar 1TB hard disk, so no more thinking about it... add one to your basket now! :-)

Can't knock it,
The 1TB drive is perfect for backups. Quiet and unobtrusive it sits on my desk and does what it was bought for. For the money I don't think you can complain.

Does the job and good value
Very good product, bought one as a trial and three more afterwards because they were exactly right for the job. I use some for holding backups and some for storing video and music (all play fine from the disk). Reformatted to NTFS to allow compression, no problems at all (beware it takes several hours). The only very minor niggles were - 1. I'd prefer the power button to be on the front rather than fiddling at the back, 2. The USB lead provided is a bit short (fine to use but a bit longer would be better). Bottom line though is that I'd happily buy again.
