1 out of 5 stars Cavalry eSATA/USB is a gamblers folly.   October 29, 2006
OldGuy
I'm a old quy running 5 computers.
I purchased this drive for critical backups and it looks good. The drive is, however unoperable.

DONT TAKE A CHANCE WITH CAVALRY Drives!
The fan and HD spins up on this one but the USB and eSATA circuit board came dead on delivery. The drive would not recongize two different XP Pro computers useing either USB or SATA ports so I stopped messing with it further.
Just so you know... I did some post purchase research for feedback at NewEgg, TigreDirect, and a couple more places and found the feedback abysmal!

These drives have caused people a lot of damage, lost time and lost data. LOOK UP THE FEEDBACK! This company doesnt make quality, they make mistakes.
I called the Distributor 1-800-xxx-xxxx number in the manual and found all 23 people, Sales, Service,and Tec lines were ''Unavailable''. Yeah right!! I shipped my dead drive back, and cancled a same Cavalry-drive exchange order. Burned once........is enough! Buyer Beware!

This item would intermittently turn off and on. My guess is that it would also overheat. This was the lowest priced 300 GB external drive I could find and I think I know why. I am going to spend the extra money and buy a Seagate next time.
