Works great with hard drive [Posted on 2004-10-07]
I had a 120G IDE drive laying around and bought this unit to turn it into a portable backup device using USB. I had the drive installed in 5 minutes and backed up my two computers same day. With Win XP there are no drivers needed. It behaves just like a memory stick, where XP self-installs the drivers on first use and then assigns a new drive letter to it. So it is not confined to backup use but can serve any storage purpose.
Although I didn't measure the backup times it was plenty fast on both my newer machine (USB 2) and my older one (USB 1). They do give a driver disk for Win 98 though I haven't tried it. All in all a good unit if you have a spare drive collecting dust.
it worked well for just 2 weeks!!! [Posted on 2004-12-11]
I used it for 2 weeks with a plextor dvd+-R/RW and it was working well, but then it did not work anymore, the problem was the AC Adapter, I searched for any kind of universal replacement AC adapter and I did not found it anywhere, because it is a special adapter (1700 mA) and the highest I found was 1200 mA but it did not worked.
I sent an e-mail to the company (addonics) asking where to find the adapter, and they did not answered.
I did not recommend this unit.
Everything I expected and more [Posted on 2005-08-22]
very pleasant buying experience. Came much faster than expected, even though I didn't get express shipment. Product is exactly what I was looking for, works exactly as they said it would. Couldn't have been any easier to put together and hook it up. I have absolutely no negative thing to say about the entire transaction.
awesome [Posted on 2005-09-30]
