 No Problems So Far August 15, 2008

Maybe I got lucky for a change, but I've had no problems. Perhaps it's because I didn't order it from Amazon. Recent Amazon orders I've gotten have been poorly packaged thus subjecting the items to impact damage. I'm using the drive in "mirrored" vs. "striping" which is the default. It takes a couple hours to reformat the discs, then no further setup is needed. Other that the little fan inside being rather noisy, it's been good for the 6 months or so that I've had it.
 Yes, it really DOES arrive broken... :-( March 23, 2008

Yes, it DID arrive broken. Yes, I DID read the reviews ahead of time, and yes I DID see that many other people were receiving this item "dead on arrival..." but there were those two 5-star ratings of people who had received them in working order and the price just couldn't be beat! I decided to take a gamble... are you a gambler? If so, you can give it a try. This external drive didn't just come in a non-working state, it actually LOOKED broken when I took it out of the box. The outside plastic case had become separated from the actual mechanism inside, so all the plug receptacles (USB, power, etc,) no longer were visible through the appropriate holes in the case. It was completely unusable. Are YOU feeling lucky? Then give it a try - but I don't recommend it. Kudos to Amazon for their amazing return process! Just a few clicks on their website and I was able to print out a bar code that I taped to the original box, which I left on my porch and UPS came by without a special call from me and just picked it up the next business day with no questions asked. Amazon rules!

i have about ten hard drives. im a tech geek and this is easily my favorite. i picked it because of the RAID capabilities... this one is for storing important files so i wanted something that was redundant. this thing is fast, very quiet!, and stays cooler than all of my other drives! go simpletech!
buy it now... for less than $250 it is a STEAL
Forget it! March 7, 2008

Received the 1TB drive unit and it worked fine for the first 6 days then it was no longer acknowledged by any of my three computers. A call to Tech Support got a simple "it must be broke, send it back." That is what I did and then ordered another model from Cavalry and it has been working fine.
Disaster recovery complete March 1, 2008

4 stars because first one I ordered gave a "USB device not recognized" error and ad to be returned.
Second arrived and was recognized but did not have any softare installed. I called customer support and they e-mailed me the software to downlaod. I then backed up all of my files (around 30GB) which was around 1.5 hours with the USB connection.
3 weeks later my system was wrecked by an IT specialist from my company and had to be re-imaged. Entire internal hard drive cleared.
Sickenng feeling went away as the restore function completely replaced all of my files to original look and feel before the crash. On;y data lost was a few photos that I had not backed up.
Job well done. 4 stars (not five) for the start up flail.
