Great [Posted on 2008-07-09]
Thanks for this product, no problems and a great deal.
Thank you
I lost it All [Posted on 2008-07-09]
It stopped working after 4 months. first, it wouldn't let me modify anything inside it, not erase, not copy, not save anything inside the drive. Then, it would not let me access it at all!!!! a warning window kept popping up telling me "need to format in order to use drive" GREAT.
lost LOTS of pictures and documents. thank you simpletech! your returning policy is AWFUL, AND, like many others said, this external drive gets super hot! do yourself a favor and spend a little more but get something better. grrr!!
DOA--what more can I say? [Posted on 2008-07-16]
$265 for something that's dead out of the box? Decidedly not cool. Admittedly, it only took three emails to SimpleTech's tech support to get an RMA. Now I can look forward to the adventure of getting it replaced in some reasonable time frame.
Given the other 18 (so far) one star reviews, I should have spent my money on another manufacturer's offering.
all 3 of mine have major problems, one with complete failure [Posted on 2008-07-23]
I bought one, then two more after the first one worked OK for a few days -- a mistake The drives (all 3) continually have directory corruption issues in XP, and require dskchk, even immediately after fixing in the same session!
... Now after several months one has failed completely. Simpletech's website has a contact form that claims they'll get back within 24 hours... three weeks later I've yet to hear a word. Try calling the numbers on their website? All you'll get is a 'beep beep beeeeeeep! all circuits are busy' message, all the time.
In short, they cannot and will not be contacted, caveat emptor once again.
Another company that believes the best policy is to sell unreliable junk and then hide behind their website and busy phones to avoid responsibility. So much for quality or ethics at simpletech.
BTW... The blue lights on top are obnoxious, too, and the shape has no benefit but takes more space than necessary. ... this is a disgrace to what Pininfarina used to design!
A Great Hard Dive [Posted on 2008-07-23]
This Hard Drive Has Exceeded my expectations It is fast and easy to use just had to plug it in and its ready to use. I am able to store and run video and games on it and they run fine. I definitely recommend this product.
