Great little drive
By Nate
I needed a scratch disk for photoshop and illustrator on my laptop. SSD and eSATA were must-haves for speed. I think the only thing slowing the drive down is my computer (Lenovo T410 with 1st gen Intel i5 processor and 4 GB RAM). It moved a 11.6 GB file in 3 min 48 sec. And it took 17 min 51 sec just to compress it into a zip file!OVERVIEW: If you want something fast and rugged and don't need much space, this could be a good drive for you.PROS: Plug-n-play, speed, comes with all needed cables, looks rugged (I haven't torture tested it though), small and light.CONS: small capacity, needs external power (can be powered off USB or wall outlet).

By REED SCHIBLEY
We used this hard drive to expand space on or microsoft 2003 SBS server. Worked like a charm. simple to hook up. I reccommend using a professional IT person to install. Saved us $$$ over expanding the standard server hard drives.

Performance is good than expected.
By RAMESH GEDDAM
ART (average response time) is very important for virtual machines, which was my requirement. It best suits for same. Its not a good option if you want to store your data. This drive is best used for data with high I/O exchange, specifically nested virtual machines. I am satisfied with the output.
