5 out of 5 stars Flawless External HDD   October 1, 2008

I have Time Warner service and DVR Explorer 8300HDC (with OCAP OS). I have this product for about 3 weeks now; no reboot, reset or estrange behavior whatsoever.

When I connected the HDD to the DVR eSATA interface, the DVR automatically recognized it and ask for formating. After clicked OK that was the last configuration that i did.

4 out of 5 stars Big, quiet, and reliable....so far   August 28, 2008

Nice, solid and unusually quiet 1TB drive. Easily boots up and disconnects from the Vista PC I'm using at work. This drive was highly recommended in a number of forums and it's been reliable to date. Will amend this review if that changes.

Whisper-quiet and incredibly fast with the included eSATA card.

Most good motherboards bought in the last 2-3 years will have an extra eSATA slot on the motherboard (same slot your hard-drives plug into) or the newer computers will even have an eSATA port already on the outside of your computer.

Either way, this drive is still very easy to hook-up and no drivers are needed with XP or Vista. Remember you don't need an actual PCI, AGP, etc slot open as it plugs directly into an eSATA slot on your MB - you just need an open spot where the card can be mounted.

Spend the extra 20$ or so on this drive and get a good one.



5 out of 5 stars Excellent HD for external storage!   April 28, 2008

Excellent HD for external storage!

One thing I like from this product is that you have the option to connect it using the USB or eSATA (10x USB 2.0 speed). What I can't find the option of add/remove it using eSATA port as a hot swap; I think this is not possible at this time. Bad things are: it has a bright blue light (you can use tape) and it does not have the option to turn off automatic after certain time of not use. Overall great product.
