  1. Billy H.

    Pros: This hard drive offers very high speeds. There are not many external drives that offer 7200rpm, but this one does with either eStata or USB 3.0 interfaces. I was able to copy files to it at a sustained speed of 87MBps! Cons: The USB 3.0 interface interfered with my WiFi signal. This isn’t a problem with the drive, just the USB 3.0 standard. Fortunately, my network offers 5GHz frequency, so that brought the interference down significantly. If you’re a good distance from your network,…

  2. Ryan T.

    Pros: Great external drive! Love that it comes with both eSATA and USB 3.0. Fast drive with 7200 rpm and high sustained file transfer speeds. Came ready to go right out of the box on my Windows system. Comes with a USB 3.0 cable (but no eSATA cable.) Cons: Too bad it doesn’t come with an eSATA cable (in addition to the USB 3.0 cable).

  3. Richard S.

    Pros: Linux Compatible as well. Just divide the drive into multiple partitions (NTFS, EXT4, whatever). But, be sure to test the drive during formatting (or before formatting) – mine has lots of bad blocks, and they weren’t marked at the factory. 🙁 The aluminum enclosure helps to keep it cool as well. Cons: Lots of unmarked bad blocks are present in my drive. Using USB 3.0, read/write testing of my Linux partition (ext4, 1.6TB, ‘e2fsck -vcck /dev/sdc2’) will take about 40 hours. Maybe that…

  4. Christopher M.

    Pros: Works out of the box with windows 7 Drive remains cool, and does not overheat during prolonged transfers Cons: no eSATA cable included…. cant blame them as most will likely use usb 3.0 Overall Review: Bought this to backup my entire system (512 SSD primary + 2Tb mechanical storage ) Previously i had purchased a seagate external which kept overheating during prolonged backup transfers… eventually i ripped it out of the encousre and just mounted it inside my tower. I wanted an…

  5. Terry C.

    Pros: I like the rugged case and the two fast interfaces. Cons: I’d bought one earlier in the year that wouldn’t connect at all. We sent it in for a new controller and it was returned within a couple of weeks and has worked fine since. I figured that was a fluke as I’d previously purchased 1TB and 2TB versions of similar models of Fantom drives with no problems in the past. My younger brother has had problems with all his Fantom drives. This new 3TB drive connects sporadically and then drops…

  6. Edgar M.

    Pros: The writing speed using the USB 3.0 is impressive. Very convenient power switch, so it does not have to be on all the time only when you need it. Very we’ll made steel case. Over will recommend to others. Cons: None Overall Review: If you are in look for one make sure you look for specials.

  7. Walter S.

    Pros: This was purchased to combine several external drives into a single drive and having the transfer rate of USB 3.0.I divided the drive into 3 equal partitions, then moved all of the files from the older external drives. I also kept one partitioned section as the back up with an image for a full recovery should it be needed Cons: I dropped the rating down from 5 eggs to 3. This drive did not last 2 years. Each partition did have to be set and formatted separately.This was no big deal, as…

    Pros: Worked straight out of the box, after I discovered the On/Off switch on the back! Cons: None Overall Review: I’ll be buying more of these in the future.
