Customer Review: Cheap, nice design, useful features
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought six AcumData PureDrive 1 TB USB 2.0/eSATA so far. The actual drive inside is a Hitachi for the first four that I bought, and Samsung for the last two. I did not see any differences except for different startup and head-parking noises. During operation both types of drives are quiet though.
I always re-format new drives to NTFS file system, and this puts the whole drive to the test as every bit on the drive gets acessed. I did not have any problems with any of them during formatting or during the subsequent use. I use these drives lightly though: typically I fill them with data almost completely and I do not acess them more often than once a week.
I really like the design - it's a simple, compact, solid. You can stack them if you want. Some of the drives that you can buy have unusual shapes and take more space than you would like in your drawers; not this one. I also like the on/off button; I can control when the drive is on or off and this does not come at the expense of power management: the drive does not spin unless it transfers data.
The eSATA connection is a plus, it is usually encountered on more expensive drives. I did not use this connection yet but I'll buy an eSATA card for my desktop - with eSATA I should be able to transfer data almost four times faster than USB2.
In conclusion, I think this drive is very good value for the money.
