5.0 out of 5 stars Great Drive at a great price, March 12, 2007

I purchased this drive to go with a new Apple Airport Extreme to create a "airdisk" to access my iTunes music over the network. The drive installed flawlessly, and has been chugging along with no problems. Before I bought this drive I did a lot of research for a 500 gig drive and found a lot of people complaining about the Lacie and the WD Mybook. Sometimes I think those larger companies get away with a lot from name recognition. I'll continue to use Fantom Drives until I experience or hear of problems.

We've used these drives at work for about 9 months, and we put them their paces: a lot of writing/deleting as we process video and audio files.

The case is as small as you can hope for with a 500 gig drive. This is the same case our earlier 320's came in. the aluminum case keeps things cool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised by other reviews, November 28, 2008

I was passing by trying to find a FD portable version for my car, and came across an overall 2 star FD hard drive product and was shocked. I was looking up a portable version from FD because I loved the one I have so much for the price. I definitely believe the other people, but I am guessing bad apples because mine is actually fine...and what surprises me more is that I don't have a problem because every piece of technology I ever buy has a catch with me lol. I have only good things to say, so I guess choose wiseley, but I am fond of Fantom until I have an experience like these unfortunate folks. Sorry to hear the bad news :(

I got this harddisk for 100$ on a discounted sale long back. I have been really messy maintaining it and the harddisk has been exposed to all kinds of rough handling.. it still stays strong... mine was pretty reliable... the only problem i had was with the power cable.. the cable connecting the adapter to the power supply did not fit along well and even the slightest of movements would force a loose connection and the hard drive would get disconnected.. apart from that... the hard disk has been a pretty good investment..
