Product Description

The sleek CAXR Series is host to a truly impressive set of features: eSATA transfer rates of 3.0Gbps are 6 times that of USB 2.0 and the lightweight aluminum case is so small that it fits in your shirt pocket, letting you carry your data everywhere. Its diminutive proportions belie its colossal functionality, making no sacrifice in storage space, transfer rates or extra features¿this powerful 2.5-inch drive is proof that good things come in small packages. The CAXR boasts exceptional heat dissipation without a fan for near-silent operation. The enclosure is constructed of solid aluminum, keeping the hard drive operating at a safe and cool temperature while protecting the drive with state-of-the art shock absorption.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cavalry Hard Drive, February 28, 2008
By 
Al (Santa Rosa Beach, FL United States) - See all my reviews
I purchased this item a month ago and since my PC is old and only has a USB 1.0 connection I had to get Cavalry to send me an additional cable. I now have two cables plugged into of my PC's 2 USB connectors. It took it that long for them to send the cable to me.
It runs s l o w l y and HOT. I am downloading my Program Files into it and it is taking hours. I mounted it on a small metal stand and have a small fan blowing air over it. I gave it 3 stars because it runs so hot that I have to provide external cooling which reduces its portability aspect. However, it seems to be working OK.

1.0 out of 5 stars Systematic Problems with Power & USB connectivity. eSATA slow, December 12, 2007
I bought this for the low price, USB and eSATA, and mac compatibility. One major problem is that the power plug is VERY unreliable (flickers in and out with just touching the drive)--I had this problem with two of these drives (I returned the first, hoping it was an isolated problem). Also, I was never able to get the USB connection to work on two macs, or the intel mac running Windows Vista natively (I tried both NTFS and Mac formatting). The eSATA works, but the transfer rates were capped at around USB 2.0 rates, so no benefit there either. I'm returning the second unit.

2.0 out of 5 stars returning process, March 28, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The purchasing and shipping proces was Ok but when received the product and plugged it in my computer it didn`t work, it was clicking but I couldn`t see the driver in my laptop.
It took me three calls and three emails to have a response and give me the instruction how to return it. Now I`m in the process of wating for the new device and I hope it going to work as advertised "plug and play".
I purchased on March, now is July 5th and after numerous emails back and for to customer service, Jessica Michelle Dupre, Carrie Young, Joshua Ariza in Bason Computer/Cavalrystorage, I still don't have my product back, therefore I could not even qualify the product due to this customer service problem.
