Received this product in the mail this afternoon. Could not even get the power to come on. Called tech support and they recommended returning it to Amazon. Update – over a week later I still haven’t gotten a refund (expected but still annoying). I needed the drive ASAP so I ordered a Seagate FreeAgent. It worked right out of the box and is very quiet. It also has a 5 year warranty. So far so good. . . Rating: 1 / 5

My experience was: The product sold, isn’t the one in the picture. In function it’s the same, but it looks completely different. When I recieved the product, it didn’t have a power cord; however, Amazon did provide a 25% refund on it. That didn’t matter though because in the end, the Hard drive was faulty. It didn’t even register on my computer when I plugged it in. After about 5-6 hours waisted, trying to get it to work, I had to send it back. Overall, I lost time and money while trying to buy this product; though I got a full refund, I had to buy a power source, that is no use to me now. Rating: 1 / 5

Hooked it up to my Cable box. Had to shut off the Cable box to be recognized. After formatting, usage went from 40% to 10%. Has been working with no problems for 1 month.
I placed it vertically on the stand with the fan on. Runs pretty cool.

Works good. Could not get the Sata to work. The USB connection works great for my needs

After a year, it shot craps, started making noise, kept running but computer would not recognize the drive sometimes. I finally was able to transfer data and programs to other backup drives. Now it is totally useless and big waste of time and money. Recently I had purchased another cavalry. I am not going to trust it any farther that I can throw it. Good luck, I didnt have any. . . . .
