Verbatim 1TB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive 96571

Pros: Very portable, nice price tag. Has a nice firm build and doesn't feel like a toy. Transfers very quickly. Doesn't over heat. Can barely hear it run really and I've dropped it a couple times from very short distances.

Cons: The USB cable is a joke. I think my foot is just longer than the cord.

Overall Review: Longer USB cable would have been great.

Pros: Nice form factor, no awkward plastic pieces or anything that keeps me from stacking this with some other portable hard drives. The solid black with a glossed front is clean and sleek, not anything amazing but blends well. Light on the front is noticeable, but not bright enough to be distracting. The 7200 RPM is great considering how much I transfer hundred of gigs between my computers and hard drives. All in all an excellent well priced product from an obscure brand

Cons: The disks inside spin (not click, which would show corruption or that it was broken) and make an awkward unpleasent sound whenever there isn't other noise to drown it out.

Overall Review: Could've come with a longer connector cable but thats just personal preference for me. I haven't owned it for long but I've used it a TON in the week I have had it and nothings gone wrong so far. Hopefully it can handle the beating it'll take from me through use.

Pros: Small, Quite, Simple.

Cons: Came with very short USB cable. Doesnt have a data transfer light.

Overall Review: This is a great hard drive. It is basically silent, I cant hear it. Its very small as well, I dont know how they put a HD in there! It looks like mine has a Samsung hard drive in it. The USB cable looks like its about 2 feet long, which is ridiculous.

Pros: Purchased on sale from Office Depot for $89. Looks good. Very quite.

Cons: Drive inside stopped working less than one month after purchased. Lost all my data that was on it. Nothing could be recovered. Hard drive just made clicking sound after it spun up. Make sure you have a backup copy of anything you plan to put on this drive.

Overall Review: Now I guess I'll see how good their warranty is and how easy it will be to return this unit for another one. Not sure what I will do with the replacement unit, perhaps a door stop?
