Review : Unreliable
Unfortunatly I can't agree with other reviews. My company bought around 6 of these drives. When working they are fine although for some reason some drives are around 4* slower than others - presumably the internals are different. The big problem however is that 2 of the drives (bought in seperate batches) have failed within a couple of months. As we have sensative data on the drives we are unable to return them. So we took them apart to find that they contain standard Western Digital drives which we could plug into a sata interface and recover our data - The problem was that the USB converter electronics had failed in both cases.
