 Excelente acabado y performance!! August 30, 2010

Aunque no es de las mayores capacidades que existe hoy en día, umple con su objetivo. Es compacto y con un muy buen acabado.
Started off on the wrong foot but am happy with my purchase August 29, 2010
Charles Alford (West Carrollton, Ohio United States)
I picked up one at Amazon about 6 months ago based on the ratings and price with a rebate although I did wait too long to turn in my rebate.
The original drive worked fine until I must have come to a damaged area on the drive. It then started making a bad chattering sound and I could no longer write to it. I deleted my backup files and after I recreated them I ran into the same problem at the same spot on the drive.
I called customer service and he wanted me to go through what I assume to be a set of trouble-shooting steps they ask all customers to do no matter what the symptoms are. I told him it was nonsense and a waste of both our times to do this. I could not even format the drive.
He then gave me three options for returning the drive. All three options cost money to send me a refurbished replacement. The cheapest option was to ship back the original and after they received it they would ship the refurbished drive.
I expressed extreme displeasure that it would cost me time and money to return a drive that was less than a week old. He asked his boss and they made arrangements to ship me a refurbished drive if I would let them put a $1 charge on my card until I returned the original. I consented to this although I told them I did not much care for getting a refurbished drive to replace a brand new one. He assured me they test the refurbished drives more thoroughly than they do the new ones. If they would run the new ones through the same battery of tests, I probably would not have had to contact them to begin with.
The refurbished drive works great. It stays cool and I can barely hear it.
I am assuming the majority of the new drives work fine. If you do have to call customer support, be prepared to stand up for what is right and they will probably take care of you. The customer service representative has to run everything by their manager that goes against their standard procedures.
BTW, I missed my rebate return date because I was going to watch the drive a couple of weeks before I accepted it as a replacement. I was not aware of the 30 day period for filing for the rebate.
Good Hardware - Software OK August 29, 2010
A. Murray (Austin, Texas)
The hardware is very good, but the backup software leaves a bit to be desired.
Nice little piece of equipment August 26, 2010
Rob T (Los Angeles, CA USA)
This thing is tiny! And it feels solid, too. Not the quickest thing in the world (it took about 30 minutes to transfer 40 GB of music), but it definitely feels like something you can toss in your backpack and carry around without worrying that every jostle is going to break it.
Fairly good & at Affordable price August 25, 2010
Chris
It is like any other 250 gb but its backup software and speeds are far better than other 250 gb drives. Very affordable cost. For a decent functioning, both USB ports should be used. Certainly worth the spend. These aside, an elegant design may have been an added attraction..
