1 out of 5 eggsGood at first

Pros: It worked flawlessly for the first week before it started making on and off noises.

Cons: Now it won't even turn on unless the cable is at some sort of perfect position that if a breeze blows by it will turn off again. I have a lot of important data on there that I can't even get off the hard drive because it won't turn on!

Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for. A CHEAP product.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks good

Pros: It works like it should. I get 3.0 speeds, I haven't had any issues with the drive after about 6 months. And the best feature is how the cable attaches to the drive case, I never have to worry about finding the cable for it.

Cons: The USB port on the drive seems a little loose but I've moved it around quite a bit while it was plugged in and I have never had an issue. So more of a feel issue, not an actual problem.

1 out of 5 eggsBig Disappointment X2

Pros: Worked for about 5 minutes.

Cons: These drives seemingly cannot handle sustained writes, even infrequently. I purchased 2 (one for me, one for a friend.) While doing the first sustained write on mine, it digitally disconnected (didn't even show up in windows disk management) from the computer after the first 2-3 gb were moved, even though the cable was still physically connecting my computer and the hard drive. Would not reconnect for an extended period of time, despite repeated, slow replugging attempts. Once it would finally connect again, it simply repeated the whole problem. Attempted file writes of similar file sizes from several other machines yielded identical results. Received a call from my friend a few days later (he was using his to hold a backup of his 80gb hard drive) and his had suffered the same fate.

Other Thoughts: Lemon me once ADATA, shame on you. Lemon me twice, shame on me. Lesson learned. This is kind of ridiculous given this product is supposed to be incredibly durable.

1 out of 5 eggsVery slow, would not eject

Pros: Cheap, 1Tb space, rugged

Cons: Super slow, does not eject and I wonder if this is wrong with my unit only. ADATA answer?

Other Thoughts: Should it be replaced?

1 out of 5 eggs*flush*

Pros: It's cute.

Cons: Totally unreliable connection. This drive frequently dismounts without warning, much to the dismay of TrueCrypt. The problem occurs when the drive is laid flat on a stable surface, making it almost useless when traveling with a laptop. Trying to reposition the cable can cause the drive to mount and dismount several times in succession before it finally hooks up.

I am going to backup my things on it once then toss it in a drawer somewhere, as it is patently unfit for use as a portable hard drive.

Other Thoughts: No wonder it was on sale.

4 out of 5 eggsWorks Fine

Pros: It works,Easy access to the hd because of cheap glue job of the silicon case.

Cons: The included cable is very stiff and too short, sort of like Junior.The Silicon shock protection is dot glued to the hard plastic case.

Other Thoughts: Crystal Disk Info ids my harddrive as a 5400RPM ST1000LM024 8Mb cache.If I get the rebate it'll cost me under 70.

1 out of 5 eggsI don't recommend

Pros: looks nice

Cons: I just got the drive today, connected to my Dell monitor 2408 (it works as a hub) and it doesn't work. I'm able to connect other portable hdd's, USB's, my phone..I though maybe it's not enough power..connected straight to the computer - works, but one i touched the usb cable, it got disconnected..I decided to test on my laptop.. connected to one of the ports - doesn't work, tried another - works..Touching again the cable - the USB connector what goes to the laptop - hard drive disconnects.. So it could be a problem just with the cable, but since it doesn't use standard micro USB port, i don't have an option to test it..
basically in a very small movement of the drive or your PC causes connection loss between the USB port and the USB cable. I have another portable drive with much shorter cable and I don't have any issues
also the USB port in the hard drive is very loose, it's not glueed or somehow attached to the enclosure
I would recommend to look for another portable drive

Other Thoughts: I don't have any complains and never had with other A-data products what i'm using.. DDR2, DDR3 memory, USB flash drives

Thank you NewEgg for the return shipping label and full refund
