That is one hell of a slickdeal. $150 for a 2TB eSATA drive. Nice find OP
![]() but it does suck that there is no eSATA cable included :/ Last edited by tester3000; 11-03-2009 at 06:25 PM.. |

The drive is JUNK. Hence the overall price of the product.
Sure, back all your Porn up and then the drive fails. Will make a grown man cry. Stick to WD drives. |

To merely say "The drive is junk" dont cut it. Apparantly you have lost all your porn on an external. Is there more to base it upon?

I would not put data on a Seagate greater than a 750.. with out knowing what drive in a external makes it quite a gamble.. I have had 2 seagate 1.5 tb die on the first use in a row!

Cavalry enclosures are known for high failure rates (the enclosure itself), poor workmanship, bad drivers, non-existent tech support, etc..
I'd stay away from this deal.

I've never had a single hard drive die in 15 years of owning computers. I guess i'm just lucky
But i still back up. I was planning to buy this as a backup drive because of its huge capacity and good price. I shoot a lot of pics. Currently i just save them onto my raid 1 array of 2x 500gb seagates. But i'm planning to buy this 2tb monster to periodically backup all my pics. So what the consensus on this. Good buy or not?
