Solid drive - if you don't move it a lot

Reviewed By: vtsongwriter09 on 7/24/2009

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

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Great amount of storage for the price. Operates quietly and quickly.

Cons: The light is a bit bright. I opted out of the on-board backup software.

Other Thoughts: I think for someone who is not going to move it around a lot this drive could/would be great, but if you are moving it a lot I'd recommend a portable drive versus this drive.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: 500gb.
Nice build.
Software on it.
Mounts under Linux distros as well

Cons: D: Gets warm after awhile, but that is because using it.

Other Thoughts: I bought this drive about 1yr 1/2 ago at F R Y S for the same price. And I havent had any problems since then. It runs great and does its job. I use it to store movies, animes, documents. (Got a 1tb for a backup) This is my main Ext. HD that I use almost daily. I have yet to have any problems with it. Worth the buy.

NOT buying ACOM again.

Reviewed By: texaspb on 1/11/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: $100 May have been an okay price for a 500GB hard drive 18 mos ago.

Cons: Uptime if this component has been about less than 1%.
Sent drive back after 1 month, had to pay about $30 for S&H. I could have bought me a SEAGATE external for less than that! The problem was that the female usb port in the back accepted the connection upside down and shorted the board. Once that happened the drive only worked at 1.1 speed. They sent it back and put a yellow sticker on the side of the ports and sent some lame instructions on how to properly connect the cable. This is the only usb device that I have seen that allowed for the connections to be inserted incorrectly. POOR DESIGN.
I am now trying to use the drive again, and it is just blinking red now. This was just an expensive paper weight! :(

Other Thoughts: Stick to good name brands. ACOM is not worth the hassle. I waited 18 mos, to see if it would turn out different!!
