Corsair Voyager Air 500GB USB 3.0 / Ethernet / WiFi Red External Hard Drive CMFAIR-RED-500-NA
 
After RMA: Fast USB 3.0 speeds and wireless streaming now works as advertised!
- Pros: I contacted Corsair after they responded to my original review. After opening a case with Corsair's online support portal, an RMA was requested by Corsair. Corsair e-mailed a prepaid label for the RMA. I was happy with the replacement, it was a brand new unit in the retail box, not a refurbished unit! I then re-tested with the original 1080p video file as I had earlier and the Voyager is able to stream the 1080p content to both an iPad and iPhone simultaneously flawlessly. The unit is enjoyable to use now. For these reasons, I recommend NewEgg change the review to four eggs and add this update to it. Reasoning: The unit performs as advertised and great Corsair customer service!
- Cons: Please update original review, the: (Pros, the number of eggs (4), and title need to be updated)
Thank you.
- Other Thoughts: Note to NewEgg:

Seagate Expansion 500GB USB 3.0 Black Portable Hard Drive STBX500100
Good Drive
- Pros: Win 7 HP, 64 bit. Plugged it in; it was recognized; it worked.
- Cons: The USB 3.0 cord is proprietary but it is 18 inches long so this is not really a problem for me. If you need longer there are extension cords available.
- Other Thoughts: I was able to do a HD "image" using 3rd party software quickly with no errors. I didn't clock the speed, but it completed a 110G compressed backup fast enough for me. This drive is light, compact and easy to store away as a safe source for file recovery when needed.

WD My Passport 500GB USB 3.0 Blue External Hard Drive WDBKXH5000ABL-NESN
Excellent Purchase
- Pros: I find this purchase well worth the money. I love the password requisites to protect my data. You can even change the password whenever you wish. I only use the USB 2.0, but I still find the transfer of data to be excellent. I was skeptical about this purchase beforehand because of a coworkers bad luck, but I am extremely content with mine. Yes, I should have considered buying a larger HDD. I will probably do that in the near future.
- Cons: No negative thoughts. I have purchased Western Digital HDDs in the past and they have never left me down.

Seagate Backup Plus 3TB USB 3.0 Black Desktop Hard Drive STCA3000101
Great Hard-drive
- Pros: It comes with a 2 year warranty, got it on sale for $100 so it can't be beat. I got the 3TB external hdd, deleted the original software and just use to store media files. The usb 3.0 cable is fast, i was transferring 150 mbps, and also very long in comparison to my wd my book cable. Charger cable length is also good. I have only had it for about a month, but so far so good :)
- Cons: None :)

Seagate Expansion 1TB USB 3.0 Black Portable Hard Drive STBX1000101
External Hard Drive. USB 3.0?
- Pros: -Small Physical Size
-Silent
-Very portable - Cons: -Defective on a USB 3.0 Port
- Other Thoughts: This was my first external hard drive that I had bought, as my internals were getting full. I had this for a couple days, while I was waiting for my USB 3.0 PCI card to get here, and thought it was working well. Then when it came time for me to use it on a USB 3.0 port, I found it to be defective. It kept disconnecting while in the middle of a transfer over 3.0.

WD My Passport 2TB USB 3.0/USB 2.0 Black Portable Hard Drive WDBY8L0020BBK-NESN
No problems. Big data / low power
- Pros: Fast, quiet, cool. Works fine with power from a single USB port on different laptops, desktops and even on my router.
- Cons: Has a proprietary USB cable/connector - this is not a regular USB-to-miniUSB cable like many other other 2.5" external drives. You have to use the cable that comes with the drive. It's very short.
- Other Thoughts: Got some heavy duty velcro and stuck this to the side of my router running DD-WRT, turned it into a tiny ultra-efficient server.

Seagate Expansion 3TB USB 3.0 Black Desktop Hard Drive STBV3000100
Terrific for Home NAS
- Pros: Super quite, reliable (I have 4 of these running 24.7.365 for a little over a year and not one has thrown a fit) , awesome storage capacity, rather power efficient. They work great (internal or in this case) for a home nas/media server (UbuntuServer + Plex).
- Cons: - Little warm in the enclosure when using heavily
As mentioned in other reviews, the drive inside is a standard st3000dm1, I rather wish that the drive, bare, were at-least the same price as this or less. It's annoying to have to purchase this to get to the drive, ESPECIALLY if they are stacked, though there is no performance hit.
- Other Thoughts: Great drive. I have bought several without any regret. After writing random data for them for several days as a harsh test, I have poped open the case on them and tossed 'em into my home server with the others in RAID. (note it void's warranty, this is why multi-day testing helps)
Not a one has failed and 7 full hard disks later (and a gpu) I havent' had any power problems.

Seagate Expansion 1TB USB 3.0 Black Portable Hard Drive STBX1000101
Drive Failed after 1 week
- Pros: Fast drive, compatible with USB 3.0
- Cons: Failed after only 1 week of use. Seagate offered to replace, but data recovery is not included in the warranty. Can you guess the price tag for data recovery? Minimum of 500 dollars if you want more than one type of file recovered. Very disappointing in this product and warranty. They are unwilling to subsidize the cost of data recovery entirely. Be careful trusting your photos ect. to this company, because they'll charge you an arm and a leg to fix a problem with their products.
