Digital camera reviews of 1TB 7200RPM 16MB Ext HDD
Digital camera Review: Great FW 800 Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the 1TB / FW800 drive as primary storage for photographs. The read/write speed was important and this drive is excellent.Digital camera Review: Great HD at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this HD to store my iTunes library and connect it to my iMac via Firewire 800. I have many movies that I stream my iTunes library to my Apple TV, so a fast read/write speed and fast connection my my iMac is very important to me. This HD works perfectly and has exceeded my expectations (I notice absolutely no lag time when streaming a movie from my HD to my Apple TV... the firewire 800 connection is blazing fast).
No driver or installation problems. Literally just plug and play.
Digital camera Review: Great Hard Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
This external hard drive is great. It is sleek and doesn't take up a ton of room. I love that it matches my imac. I like that it goes to sleep when not in use.Digital camera Review: Great Mac Backup Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a recent switcher from PC to Mac and in the process of moving all my personal 'stuff' (digital pictures, iTunes library, documents, etc.) realized that my 300GB USB drive, while probably sufficient, would always leave me wondering if it was 'enough' for Time Machine. Info online said your backup drive should be 2-3 times the size of your hard drive, so I figured for the 320GB drive in my iMac, I should go with a 1TB backup drive. I wanted FireWire connectivity as well, so I started searching. I found this drive, and although the reviews were generally good, there were some that were scary - and who wants to take a chance with the backup of your irreplaceable memories and creations?
So, I bought it and have to say I'm thrilled. It's incredibly quiet, its aluminum-silver look matches my iMac perfectly, and most of all - it works. Time Machine saw it right away, did it's initial backup overnight and I haven't had any problems going 'back in time' to retrieve files (thankfully, just to test - I haven't had any problems that caused actual data loss).
Peace of mind, good price, easy-as-pie setup (on a mac, anyway), and more storage than you can shake a stick at.
Go for it. If your experience is like mine, you'll be satisfied.
Digital camera Review: Great Purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
This drive is everything I thought it to be. Dependable, Fast, and quiet. The only negative I have about this drive is that it took forever to format it from FAT to NTSC. Other than that it works great.
