Fantom Drives' Titanium II series brings together reasonable cost and great performance.

Sustained transfer rates of up to 28MB/s and burst transfers up to 60MB/s mean no waiting for your data.

The external housing is made of aluminum that provides both protection for the drive and works as a heat sink to keep the drive cool without a fan. All of the necessary cables and adapters are included so you start backing up your data right away.

Could Have Done Better

Reviewed By: on 11/10/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Runs very quiet. Has worked on every computer and every setup I've tried it on. I had no problems with the USB 2.0 speed.

Cons: The blue light is way to bright. The drive stopped working about 7 months after I bought it. A red light appeared. I'm in the process of filing a RMA but that's annoying.

Other Thoughts: For the price I paid I wish I would have gotten a NAS system instead.

It's a hard drive

Reviewed By: jaypath on 8/9/2008

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: 1) Hasn't crashed yet
2) very quiet

Cons: Not a huge con, but... C'mon! preformat as FAT32????

Other Thoughts: It's seems like a good drive (so far). The LED indicator is so bright it's burning a hole in my retina, but nothing some tape won't fix. Doesn't seem quite as fast as the SATAII drive it replaced, but certainly fast enough to dish HD quality video on my HTPC. Plus it's "portable" (but you have to also bring the power transformer too).

Great drive, Rebate difficult

Reviewed By: Shawn on 8/5/2008

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Drive is fast, and very quiet. Amazing deal. My older external HDD is really noisy and this is a huge improvement over that. I love this drive!

Cons: Comes formatted in FAT32. Not a big deal, since you can do a quick format to NTFS in a couple of minutes.

The www.promoprocess.com website does not have the rebate available for this drive. The only available option is for 1TB drives purchased from 07/01 to 07/31. Seems like either the rebate is fake or promoprocess.com messed up.
