Rated 5 out of 5Â by phooba a very good large drive
1. don't mess with the included excryption software, it lost all my data after a few days. (total garbage).
2. I did not use the included USB accelerator software.
3. The drives arrive formatted FAT32, I reformat them to Windows NTFS before use.
4. You will be best off to not install the product CD because of problems with it.

I own 4 of these drives, 1 for over a year. I have found them to be large capacity, fast, reliable hard drives and the multiple connection options could be a life saver some day.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Ryan329 LASTED LESS THAN 4 MONTHS!!!
I bought this hard drive in March and put about 500 gigs of info on it and last week, when I turned it on, a message came up on my computer saying, "The disk you have inserted contains no volumes that mac osx can read. Initialize, ignore, or eject". Called Buffalo Tech's customer service and they said, "You could try Disk Warrior and if that doesn't work, send it to a disk data recovery service." Well I shelled out $100 for the Disk Warrior software and guess what? It did nothing. So now I'm going to be out another $300-$600+ and all the confidential info on the drive will be in that hands of 3rd parties, IF I should be so lucky that my data isn't lost forever. So a $100 hard drive has now turned into a $200-$800 dollar hard drive and is utterly useless to boot... all in less than 4 months.
