  1. Robert G.

    Pros: This drive is amazing! It’s like installing a new 2 TB drive on my computer. I have usb 3.0 ports on my computer so I am able to take full advantage of the speed offered by usb 3.0 devices. I back up steam games on it (when I’m done playing them) and it copies these huge files as if I had installed another hard drive. Solid enclosure. No drivers to install on windows 7. Just plug it in, turn on the power, and enjoy an extra 2gb of disk space as if you installed a hard drive. Amazing……

    Pros: The drive seems fine for normal file copying within Win7. Cons: My only complaint is the lack of warning with the “Advanced Format Disks”. I can not create a Win 7 System Image with this drive. Fantom refers to KB982018. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018. This patch does not help with my problem, I tried on on 3 Win7 64-bit machines. These drives can be used for system image backups. If we were warned, we would not have bought these drives. Overall Review: My problem seems to be…

  3. Party A.

    Pros: This unit is a lot smaller than I expected, and also a lot faster! HUGE upgrade from my Western Digital externals 🙂 I have it encrypted with BitLocker and all my files are ready to go. I filled it with my backups and am 100% for sure going to buy another one Cons: The only con (which I knew before I bought it) is that it has an external power supply, but this is something I was prepared for Overall Review: Would recommend for anyone who wants quick access and needs space. You won’t…

  4. Ben B.

    Pros: Surprisingly fast, USB 3.0, quiet, cool to the touch, quality construction – like a solid piece of metal, sleek design, 3 year warranty, good backup solution Cons: Bright blue power LED – who decided bright blue LEDs were a great idea? It matches my tower but I don’t like that either… Overall Review: Other reviewers have said and it’s true, this drive won’t work with Windows backup (including Win7) as it has 4K sectors. That’s not a problem with the drive in any way, but rather…

  5. Nathan B.

    Pros: Came with everything you need. Hooked it up right out of the box on a system using VISTA. OS recognized it right away and the full amount of the drive. Easy to transfer files and backup. Cons: None so far. Keeping fingers crossed. We’ll revisit in a year or so. Overall Review: Quiet running, simple, easy to setup and a blue LED to keep you company whilst it works.

  6. Rick Z.

    Pros: On/Off Switch–No bloatware to turn on. No backup automation that I neither need nor want. No backup button. Cons: 50% failure rate so far–3 out of 6 Overall Review: This was to be my 4th Fantom hard drive. Of the other 3, one arrived DOA and was replaced. Newegg took FOREVER to pack and ship this one, then after 3-4 days, it developed problems. RMA’d it, the replacement was DOA. Waiting for a refund. Of the 6 Fantom drives I’ve possessed, 3 were bad, either DOA or wonky within a…

  7. Andreas S.

    Pros: Fast speed, decently quiet, plenty of storage, no compatibility issues encountered so far. Attractive design, generally quite well put together. Cons: Failed after a year and a half of use. As other reviews have mentioned, this is effectively a trojan horse in the sense that inside the enclosure (of my unit) lays a Seagate hard drive. Others have mentioned having different brand drives, so I would assume Fantom Drives uses whatever is cheapest/most available at the time of production….
