Digital camera reviews of U32 Shadow? 500GB External USB 3.0 Mini 2.5" Portable Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: Perfect.
Summary: 5 Stars
This drive is perfect. Small, runs off the USB so no power cables. Definitely going to grab another in a few weeks. The size of a 3 x 5 card and 1/4 inch thick so perfect for use for a laptop or netbook or for data you want to carry with you that requires more than a thumb drive.Digital camera Review: Portable, Fast, and Easy.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been a week since I purchased this Hard Drive and it has overdone any of the Hard Drives I had prior. All that I need to say is:
1. It's small and portable. I can use it anywhere.
2. Large capacity. I can easily store all of my video work in this one HHD.
3. No AC Adapter. I don't need to plug it into a wall, which makes it a breeze for my tablet. I just stick it to the back and plug it in whenever I need to transfer my project files.
As a Comedian WebShow Host and Multimedia Editor on-the-go, I would highly recommend this convenient, portable, easy to use Hard Drive to anyone.
Digital camera Review: Rock on!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a correction to my initial review: Hard drive is SATA, rock on.
I really like this hard drive. Much faster and more compact than my other 3.5 external hard drive. And I am using it on a USB 1.0 port. Pros: Fast Compact Durable case Fast delivery (even out here in Afghanistan) Cons: Weird USB cable. Just need standard USB cable.
Digital camera Review: Simple, elegant, and functional
Summary: 5 Stars
Up to this point, I've been using Western Digital Passport portable drives. When I needed a larger size, the reviews on this model caught my eye, and I thought I'd give it a try. I'm happy I did.
A few things I can add to the other good reviews on here:
1. The case consists of two matte-black aluminum "halves", which snap together using friction and a small detente. This arrangement provides for a very slim profile, which is substantially smaller than the Passports that I'm used to. The downside to this arrangement is that shock protection is minimal. Personally, as I try to "baby" my drives anyway, I find that the smaller size is more convenient for me. Nevertheless, I'd certainly be more worried about dropping this off my desk than I would be with a Passport, which at least has the appearance of being better shock protected.
2. The actual drive used inside my Oyen is the Western Digital WD5000BEVT, also known as the "Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB". If you search for this drive on Amazon, you can see that it gets excellent reviews in its own right.
3. Due to the way the aluminum drive case snaps together, it is VERY easy to switch the internal drive unit. Literally, unplug the cable, snap it apart, gently raise the unattached end of the drive unit, and unplug from the socket. Reverse this procedure to install a new drive unit. No screws or tools are needed, and it takes all of about 15 seconds. This makes it very easy for me to swap older 2.5 inch drive units back and forth when I need to. This should also make drive upgrades in the future trivial, and has already proved convenient for "cloning" drives in order to upgrade my internal laptop hard drive.
4. In spite of the snap-together construction, when the enclosure is put together, it feels solid. I haven't worried about it falling apart during normal use.
I look forward to using this drive for a long time.
