Customer Reviews

Stay away from this Drive!!!!
I've had this drive for just over a year. It worked fine until a few months ago when I plugged it in (it never turns off) and all I got back was a rapidly flashing light staring back at me. Now I can't access my data and I'm worried all my data is lost. I would look else where since the heat build up from constantly running is what has caused this drive to fail.

Avoid This POS
Stay away from this drive! Mine lasted less than a year, and now I've lost everything that was on it. Luckily it was just movies. Very disappointing!

Terribly unreliable drive
Like some other reviewers here, I am screwed because of this cheap drive. First, it won't power down or go into a low power state--there is no "on/off" switch. You have to unplug it from the wall to turn it off.

Worse, although I've had it less than a year, it has started making noises and now won't access my files. My data is LOST.
