## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Very easy to install on my computer
*by M***W on September 7, 2015*

Changing my review to 1 star! If there were a zero, that would be it!I've had this drive for less than two months, and it crashed!!! I had to take it to a technician to recover all of my data, which cost me $80. Thankfully he was able to save everything, but this drive is TOAST!!!! Since I was ONE WEEK past the RETURN window, I can't even get my money back for it, and have since come to find out that the company that made it, who should be honoring my "1 year limited warranty" is OUT OF BUSINESS!DO NOT BUY ANY ACOMDATA PRODUCTS!!!!Very easy to install on my computer. Easy to navigate!

### ⭐ Worked OK for 4 months... then &*$#^*#!
*by P***K on September 6, 2008*

This thing really is a piece of garbage. I used it to back up data on my multiple macs.First, there were some times that the drive didn't mount properly.Then, one day... it wouldn't mount at all. Get a La Cie instead. I had a 160 gb drive for over 6 years. No trouble what-so-ever.I wrote to AcomData's tech forum. No replies... It's been 3 weeks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No problems so far...small, quiet, and fast!
*by J***A on October 30, 2007*

I own two of these drives (connected via Firewire to an iMac) and am about to buy a third. So far the only criticism I have is that the power light is overly bright...otherwise the drives are compact, quiet, and fast. I'm not sure if I've been able to beat the odds so far or if only the people who have received problematic drives have written reviews, but I've been impressed enough with the two I have to want another. (If things change I'll post an update.)
