 Problem after problem with a finicky little drive January 26, 2007
Frustrated and Disappointed (New York)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love the way the drive looks but it's just finicky and continues to fail. When I initially got it, it died after just a week or two. I sent it back and got a new one pretty quickly. The customer service wasn't bad. Even when it worked, some computers would see the drive, others wouldn't. It was a crap shoot. Then, I tried to reformat the drive and it wouldn't; it just became unformattable. Apparently there's nothing I can do because Pexagon doesn't have any drivers that I can download and reinstall. So, this drive, which had so much potential, has just been plagued with problems and is now just a $100+ hunk of metal. I am waiting on customer service yet again to solve the problem. Will report back how it goes.

Bad customer support. Difficult to use. Damaged my hard drive.
Finaly was told to send it back, it's defective.

Do you back files up onto CD's? If so, you really need to get one of these and chunk your old method.
The Pexagon Store-It 60 GB external drive has taken what was a 3 day monthly backup process using CD's (I back up my files and my colleagues critical files) to a 1 hour per month process.
I am only giving it 4 stars because while I am able to get it to work on my office PC and my laptop, I cannot seem to get it to work on my home PC. Also, the software that comes with it is not exactly intuitive. That said, you can treat this device like an extra "drive" in Windows Explorer to just drag and drop file copies onto it. It is fast and simple to use, and sleek and compact.
I would recommend this for both work and personal use if you have newer PC's (3 years old or less) to use it on. It has greatly simplified my life.
Sleek little hard drive February 23, 2006

I bought this for my wife to use for backups. It is an elegant, small and slim, USB hard drive. The power and data cables are combined into one cable with two heads, which is nice. The backup software seems to be good. I think it better than the CMS drive I use for my own hard drive.
One problem: There is a button on the drive that you are supposed to be able to press to do a 1-button backup, but my wife hasn't figured out how to configure this to do what she wants; so she doesn't use this feature.

The size of the Store-It Drive is not much bigger than my Palm Tungsten E. The Retrospect software that is included is simply amazing. After the discount and rebate, the unit cost a little over a $100. The 60GB capacity is sufficient for my needs and the compact size is handy because I have to exchange large files between my home and work computers. If 60GB is enough for your backup and storage needs, I advise you to consider this external hard drive for purchase. The compact size and software at $100 is a bargain. Very few products at this size and value to compare.
