Customer Reviews

Ok first thing I want to start off by saying is that this is the External Desk Drive, meaning that it must use a power adapter to work and not just from USB. It's kinda my fault for not doing the proper research but just to let you all know. If you're looking for a USB powered 3.0 one, try the Buffalo Cobalt Ministation.

Ok so now on to the review. My first impression of this drive is that it is very glossy. I knew it would be glossy, but not that much. As such, it is a HUGE fingerprint magnet. This may not be a problem for those that will keep it on the desk, but I'm making this function as my portable hard drive until I get the other one.

I'm not going to bore you with statistics on the write/read speeds compared to usb 2.0 etc.(there are lots of sites that has this information, google it)but I will say that thing is miles faster than usb 2.0. When I first used this I almost thought it wasn't working because nothing popped up that said the file was transferring, but that was just how fast it was.

There is software that comes with it. The software is a basic back-up utility that can autmatically sync and back up your files. This software is mehhh. It does its job, but i've seen better. It's up to you if you want to use it. There also is something called turbo usb or something that when activated makes it supposedly read/write even faster but honestly I haven't seen a difference and I think its just a gimmick.

Overall, I would definitely reccomend this if you have a usb 3.0 port handy (my notebook came with one) ,planning to install one or just wanting to be future proof. Its backwards compatible with usb 2.0 so no loss there. One thing I don't like with this product (although all companies do this now) is that it advertises 1.5 TB but not all of that is usable. I can't exactly remember how much was usable out the box, but it was a substantial amount and for who knows what. That being sad, SPACE IS NOT A PROBLEM. I have two full PC backups, LOTS of photos, music and video. LOTS of games and applications and many other files etc. and i still have close to a terabyte left! I'm trying to find things now to fill that up.

CLOSING
This is definitely a good buy, and I highly reccommend this to anyone in the market for one. Its quiet, small, pretty lightweight for the memory on this as I am still able to use this a portable drive with my big 16 inch notebook.
