Customer Reviews:

Lasted 3 years, then suddenly died. [Posted on 2006-01-07]
I bought one of these 80GB Buslink drives a few years ago, back when 80GB seemed like a lot of storage. It lasted a while and served me very well, with quick access speed and no maintenance necessary.

Suddenly last week it stopped working - my computer can see the drive letter, but can no longer access the drive. I used this only as backup for photo and mp3 files so there's nothing essential on it, but obviously I'm disappointed it didn't last longer.

I'd take it in for repair or data salvage, but the cost of salvage is too high - cheaper to just buy another! But I'll be buying a SimpleTech drive instead, as they seem to offer larger drive sizes for less money, and the reviews are fairly positive.
