eSATA connection breaks
This review is from: Fantom GreenDrive 1TB USB 2.0/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive GD1000EU (Electronics) First, the bad (so you know right away): As several other reviews have mentioned in various locations, don't count on the eSATA connection working for long. It worked fine for the first few months (I used it just once a week at most to backup my desktop drives). Then, it started working only inconsistently and I had to use the MUCH slower USB 2 connection. Now, the eSAT...

Warranty is NO GOOD
My drive died a month from it's 1 year anniversary on my receipt. I emailed customer service, they stalled by saying they sold it to buy.com at an earlier date and asked for my receipt (which was already included in the first email) I sent my response addressing my purchase date from buy.com and a copy of the receipt again, they have never responded, making the warranty no good. Having worked in warranty call centers, this is a standard stall procedure by companies that want only the money, no...

fantastic value, great so far
This review is from: Fantom GreenDrive 1TB USB 2.0/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive GD1000EU (Electronics) 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 seaml...

Not to be confused with the GDP1000EU, GDII1000EU, GF1000EU or the upcoming Fantom GD1000Q, I purchased the GD1000EU from another e-merchant with the help of a gift certificate. With my experience, there is little surprise of the many variants.
Background: I needed quick, portable storage expansion ...

Do not buy
This review is from: Fantom GreenDrive 1TB USB 2.0/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive GD1000EU (Electronics) I'll try to avoid repeating the common complaints leading to the failure of this drive: rattling death sound, inability to find files, etc. I'll also briefly mention the frustrations trying to contact Fantom's customer service: three e-mails and three phone calls with no reply until I finally, miraculously, reached someone on my forth phone attempt. And finally, the...

Extremely Fragile
This review is from: Fantom GreenDrive 1TB USB 2.0/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive GD1000EU (Electronics) I had this hard drive sitting on a carpeted floor and it fell on its side while running and hasn't worked since. It didn't drop any distance at all, and no cords were pulled out, or anything else happened to it. I don't recommend buying it unless you have an extremely safe place for it where it can't even tip over. had it for about 6 months before it failed.

Great if it works
This review is from: Fantom GreenDrive 1TB USB 2.0/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive GD1000EU (Electronics) I got this drive as a backup and replacement for an older model fantom drive which inexplicably stopped being recognized by any computer. On my first day of loading data onto it, I left the room for a minute and came back to find that one of the cats had knocked it off the desk. Now, I know that the damage user error, but it wasn't a far fall. About 2 feet onto carpet. ...

Failed after 4 months of minimal usage
This review is from: Fantom GreenDrive 1TB USB 2.0/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive GD1000EU (Electronics) Mine failed after 4 months of minimal usage. I back up my MacBook once a month and just this past week, the GreenDrive wouldn't respond to anything. I tried repairing it-- nothing-- wiping it and starting anew but that didn't work either. As far as I'm concerned, this product failed in performing its primary task: keeping my data safe and retrievable. It's a shame becau...

Fantom Green Drive 1TB
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Fantom GreenDrive 1TB USB 2.0/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive GD1000EU (Electronics) So far, the only thing this drive does on my Window's 7 Professional 64 bit is kill my mouse and require a reboot to get everything working. My problems ONLY happen when I have this drive connected and when I try to run sync toy or the built-in Windows 7 ...

FAILED TO WORK AND NO REBATE FROM PROMO PROCESS 3
YOU WILL NOT GET THE REBATE FROM PROMO PROCESS SO ADD $20 (or more depending on current "promissed rebate amount"). THEY WILL ASK FOR NUMBERS YOU WILL MOST LIKELY NO LONGER HAVE TO "LOOK INTO" THE STATUS OF YOUR REBATE. VERY POOR AND COMBERSOME PROSESS WHICH IN THE END LEAVES YOU HIGH AND DRY. DONT BUY THIS EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE.
