There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
had to contact the company's sales department by email to see if I can ascertain the actual warranty period.
They list no warranty period on their home web page. No warrant information either location is a little odd.
Other than that the unit connected to my laptop and seemed to transfer data quickly.
Pros:
A solid amount of space (320 GB) for $19, but you can get a whole lot more without having to pay a lot more than $25, if much more at all even. I sacrificed extra space for a product listed on a compatibility chart as guaranteed to work, possibly paying a bit more as a result, and they did not send me the product that is being listed. This listing may not even be for the item shown anymore, so again, please look at when this review was published before considering a purchase, and if you do make a purchase, check the box and the drive itself before dedicating too much time into it like I did. I'm sure you can find the proper FAT32 drive, but I am not going to be buying from this brand again--there is no guarantee they won't do the same thing again, and returns have become a bigger hassle than ever before.
- USB 3.0 (somewhere in this listing, I think it advertises 1.1, but mine was 3.0 and it does copy data very quickly onto the device and from it)
- According to the back of the box, it is compatible with a Sony PS3, so NTFS files or exFAT files must not conflict with PS3's hardware. I do have a modded PS3, so if nothing else, I can always look into seeing how exactly this is meant to function with a PS3. But it shows a PS3 logo on the back, and while I'm unsure if this is quite100% true, because I really am not sure how the drive is meant to function (an extra hard drive? Something to hold PS1 .bin and .que games for people low on system space? Can you install a PS2 (or PS1) game directly onto this hard drive like you could by making a pkg on the PS3's regular drive? These are all things I haven't even had a chance to try, and if a lot of this stuff proves more difficult than just using a flash stick or finding a better hard drive for a PS3 even, I should note now (if it isn't already obvious that I'm displeased) that this 3 star review would probably automatically dip to a 1, since inevitably all I can think of is to use this with my PS3 since there aren't nearly enough Wii games I own or desire to play in order to fill up a 320 GB hard drive. I don't even need 1/4th of that space to backup my computer. That is a temporary project, anyhow, as this was meant to be used with my Wii and GameCube simultaneously. Since that can't be done, if it is nothing more than a way to transfer data onto a PS3 and does not act as a second hard drive of sorts for it instead, then this thing is a complete waste of money and everything I wrote except the USB speed takes a hit.
- It is 100% plug & play, which I like a lot. Very small and discreet and does not take up a lot of room at all. I have a 12" laptop monitor and I run my laptop into a 32" TV monitor because of my eyesight, and the drive is barely noticeable on top of my laptop's keyboard sitting neatly, even with the laptop being a very small notebook-style model. The drive is nice, which means their other drives are likely well-made and discreet as well, but there's a risk you might end up with nothing more than a nice shell for something you can't really use... Note: don't let the plug & play trick you into forgetting to check what format your drive ships in, and what formats it can be formatted into upon first plugging it in. Like an idiot, I waited for 2 days until I actually tried it out with some stuff which made me realize immediately that it was likely in the wrong format, to only at this point realize it wasn't FAT32 at all. Plug and play will work right out of the box and I was in a hurried nature at the time and wanted to copy some files over from my main hard drive that I had to delete quickly.
Cons:
- Item being advertised is not the item they sent. As noted, I received a larger drive, but different format. USB speed seemed to differ from this listing's as well. At least it was the same brand, and not a complete knock-off? It has been that bad before...
- Can only be formatted to NTFS or exFAT, unless I am missing something. I have tried to format to FAT32 and it simply does not even populate as an option, and if each hard drive is catered specifically, that does not surprise me too much. Not the item being advertised as a FAT32 drive at all.
- You can get a lot more space for $19, come to think of it. This is a solid brand from everything I have read, leading into the purchase and reading reviews on here beforehand as well. But if the listing is inaccurate or companies don't send the proper product, it doesn't matter how good a brand is. It's like ordering pork chops and having the waiter bring you a steak, and telling you it's just as good because they're the same brand of meat. Either I'm a blip on the unlucky radar, or this listing is no longer sending the valid product being shown. I am writing this review as somebody who rarely ever leaves a review because I wouldn't want to waste $19 when there are so many other reputable brands of hard drives (and more common ones for a few extra bucks even) that are less likely to make a mistake like this in the first place, leading to a mediocre and back-and-forth review for this thing.
TLDR: They sent a drive that is meant to be used with NTFS or exFAT formats, and cannot be formatted to FAT32, the format which it is being advertised as. In addition, it does not match other specifications that this listing displays. Furthermore, the box doesn't go out of the way to let you know, so if you don't format your drive the second you open it (it is plug and play, a nice thing, but also a potential trap) or check the format it is in, you may end up with the wrong type of hard drive and $20 down the drain. I don't know if this is a one-time thing or if the company sends the wrong specified drives to people often, but I've seen this happen with other types of electronic products before. I would simply end with: buyer beware. Message amazon beforehand just to be safe. There are a lot of different drive types being sold by this company, so ensure you are going to receive the proper one to fit your needs or that you have received if you choose to take the plunge. I'd be happy with my purchase and it would likely be 5 stars if not for complete misinformation and no resolution from amazon.
