Fantom GreenDrive 2 TB USB 2.0/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive GD2000EU Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've now had the Fantom Green Drive for about 3 months.Wanted to use it a while and try a few different things before writing the review.Also my G5 Mac tower did not at first have an eSATA card...If you try transferring a couple hundred GB over USB 2.0, you can pretty much start it and go to work, it may be done when you return.With the MAC, the set up was seamless and with the new Tempo Sonnet eSATA card (see my other review), the transfers were lightning fast.The fanless operation had me concerned for over-heating, but I have to say after leaving it on for over 60 days now and using it daily for automatic file backup and frequent storage & retrieveal of files - esp movie files sized 50GB+, I am astonished at the performance of this drive.No perceptible heat emanating either.Read- and write-times over eSATA are still leaving me with that stupid look you get when technology is ahead of your comprehension... you don't have to like being left behind, you just have to accept it. Plus it's 'green' - apparently hard drives can consume dumploads of juice, and this one saves a few greenback saving on power consumption, which is a huge plus.I'd spent countless hours trying to find the drive with the best combination of speed, reliability and value, and I have to say I'm gloating a bit right now with the Fantom Green Drive!
