Great product!! No problems here!!

ByB. WhiteTOP 1000 REVIEWERon May 11, 2009

Okay, just to give you some background...

I had/have an Acer 5700 duo-core Laptop that had 1gb ram, 80GB hd 5400 rpms...

I was running out of hard disk space on the laptop and wanted to enlarge it so I could have enough room to also put all my CD's on my computer (right now over 40GB of music and growing daily...LOL).

First thing I did was upgrade my memory to 2GB... (My husband has an updated/newer laptop that I upgraded his to 4GB and took his two 1GB memory cards and put them in my laptop)...

I bought a WD Scorpio 320GB, 16mb cache, 7200 rpm hard drive from here on Amazon to replace my OEM hard drive. I followed the directions that CAME WITH the Apricorn EZ upgrade and had absolutely no problems.

I did NOT need the y-splitter or the alternate power source.

I believe that the people that were/are having problems with needing those are because they have an older laptop, which I believe Apricorn has a different version of this Upgrade kit for older laptops that includes the power adapter.

Needless to say, I think it took roughly 45 minutes total to do the cloning and swapping out of the hard drives. Took me physically longer to screw in the 5-6 miniscule screws for the hard drive enclosure in my laptop (one screw was a tight fit and I have big fingers, took a couple tries to get it in the hole to screw it in... :-)) when I replaced the new hard drive.

This was a lot cheaper way to go than paying someone to mirror my hard drive for me, and I now have an 80GB external drive to use as a back-up if I need it!! Definitely happy with the product and would recommend!!!

Apricorn EZ Upgrade Not

ByJanis Moreheadon May 25, 2013

Before purchasing this product I read other posted reviews on the net. All that I read recommended this product.

When I got the product and tried it, it did not work. The software would begin by reading my hard drives, then when I make the selection on where to copy from and to, the software would stall.

I went back to the internet and found a forum that suggested I place the original hard drive in the receiver and new hard drive in the computer. This also did not work.

I called and left a message at Apricorn tech support. Didn't get a response in the 1st 24 hours. I then saw the phone number to call tech direct. I got through and talked to the tech person. He said that the EZ Upgrade 2.0 reacts this way with some laptop computer chips. He sent me a Beta Version of their attempted fix, and said that if that didn't work, that I should send the EZ USB 2 back and buy an EZ USB 3.0 (and it would work on my USB 2.0 computer). I tried the beta program on my laptop and it did not work. Thinking the problem might be in my laptop, I attempted to install the Beta product in my desk top machine. The machine went crazy, and I had to do a hard restore back to the original programing. What a PAIN!

I also attempted to request technical help on their web site. Each time I would fill out their form and leave a detailed message of what was happening, their site would not accept my request, and send me back to the beginning of the request. I did this 3 times before giving up. When I explained this to the tech person I talked to, he said that their online tech support system was not working, and he was the only person working.

I would say that their technical support is not set up well. The tech person I spoke with was nice and tried to solve my problem, but he was hard to get hold of.

I have since bought the Apricorn 3.0 usb and it works fine.

If there is a problem with the 2.0 usb product, why does Apricorn sell it?

Mixed feelings

First the bad.
I agree with a previous reviewer who commented on the packaging. This may seem trivial, but why would a manufacturer market their product in such an awful package? Of all the various plastic, form-fitted contraptions I've encountered over the years, this one ranks among the worst. Can't you guys just put this thing in a little recyclable brown box (like the WD drive I purchased, to upgrade my computer)?
With regard to the more significant criticism, I bought this product based on a CNET review that extolled its ease of use. Not so, for me. I'm using a DV-series HP laptop with a partition devoted to a "recovery drive." The software that comes with "EZ Upgrade" kit, cannot accommodate multiple partitions, apparently (see other reviews). There are a variety of options (many freely downloadable programs), but the software included in this package is of no use for my purposes.

Now the good.
The tech support folks responded quickly to my question about the multiple partition problem, including suggestions for a variety of software options. The drive case that's shipped with the kit is very well made and seems sturdy. You also get the USB cable. So for people with multiple partitions on their existing drive, what you're getting is a pretty nice drive case. Seems ok, if a tad over-priced.

A couple of notes for folks like me, who need to accommodate multiple partitions in their upgrade. I used EaseUS Disk Copy to duplicate my original drive to the new disk. Worked flawlessly, but it left the large (new) chunk of drive space unallocated and non-adjacent to the C: drive (so I couldn't use Windows to expand C: into that space). I then used EaseUS Partition Manager to expand the Recovery Disk (D:) into the unallocated space, shrink the Recovery Disk to put the unallocated space adjacent to C:, then expand C: to include all of the new drive space. There may be a simpler way to do this, but it didn't seem obvious to me, and this method worked well.
