Nice drive [Posted on 2006-10-04] I am very happy I made this purchase from amazon.com! It's easy to install and has fast recognition.It looks good and easy to carry!
Didn't work with my laptop [Posted on 2006-11-11] I have an older laptop with only USB 1 ports. This needed USB to work properly and I also had trouble with the software. Returned the product.
Defective [Posted on 2007-03-17] I use this hard drive initially once on my laptop at home (and it worked) and once at work (and it worked), but it hasn't worked since. I have changed out USB cords thinking that maybe that is the problem, but the hard drive still doesn't work.
Disappointing, virtually unusable with Mac OS X [Posted on 2007-10-08] I've had the Cavalry CAUH2560 for some time, and it works OK with Windows XP. Unfortunately it scarcely works at all with our Mac OS X computers so it is essentially worthless for us and I'm about to replace it with a different make. (I.e., it works very occasionally if I reboot; but then may just as likely cut out in the midst of a file transfer.) It may well be that Cavalry's firewire/USB models would work better, but I no longer trust the manufacturer because its claim that the unit is usable with "Apple: iMAC or G3, G4, iBook" is misleading. For a backup system what is needed is reliability and full compatibility with different OS; and this model has not provided that. (And I can second another reviewer's comment that the instructions and FAQs are incomplete and poorly drafted.)
Good purchase. [Posted on 2008-03-06] I'm glad I bought this product. Now that all my pictures are backed up onto this hard drive, I don't have to worry about my computer crashing (which it will, soon). I would recommend this product. It's very small--takes up very little space.
