Customer Review: refreshing
Summary: 5 Stars
After struggling for months with a western digital passport drive, never knowing whether it was going to power up or not each time I used it, the simpletech is very refreshing in its reliability. Sure, the power cord and larger size makes it less portable, but for a home backup drive I have no problem trading portability for reliability. This product relies on a good ol' fashioned wall outlet, rather than a USB port, for its power, so you never have to worry about whether your USB port will provide enough power for the drive to work properly.Customer Review: great deal
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed to get an external HD since I was running out of space on my current laptop. The deal was pretty good. Although, I could have gotten a TB but I didn't think I needed that much space. Maybe later on I will pick up a TB when they are more on sale. No issues with this. Very simple out of the box and plug it in then transfer your files. Exactly what I was looking for. Some people complain about it taking a power supply, but seriously it doesn't take that much effort to find a power outlet for it. Very pleased with this product.Customer Review: A great external, for cheap!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a tech guy, I'm usually wary of products without great brand names attached, but the price of this 500 GB external was too good to pass up, so I took the plunge. I am very happy I did. This is a great drive that runs quietly and doesn't get very warm at all. The flashing blue lights on the top add to the coolness, and it was only a plus that it matched with the LEDs in my computer. Remember that this drive uses a separate power supply so you will need an extra socket to be able to use it.Customer Review: SimpleTech 500 GB
Summary: 5 Stars
I have not had the drive for long, but it does the job that I want fast and easy. I wanted it for a large number of photo backups. I'm a professional photographer, and I shoot large numbers of photos during a wedding. This makes it simpe to unload all the photos on this drive and not use my main hard drive. Why wear out my main drive when I can can dump everything on this inexpensive, and replacabale drive? Great price, super speed. I love it.Customer Review: Excellent Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent system that goes anywhere and is pretty much ready to handle anything, this spinning drive makes data storage a breeze. Total space is actually 464 GB, formatting and what not owning the rest. I chose not to use the pre-installed software, and had no problems with it. This drive runs super quiet and is very shock resistent. I'm extremely happy with it and will definitely buy from Simpletech again.
