Excellent value for money

Have been using WD hard drives for many years. You need a very large drive in a RAID 1 configuration to house your music collection. Revain was priced lower than other lower capacity WD drives. Please note that the low portability rating is not an issue - this is a desktop external drive and should not be moved, especially while in use. I only have two complaints. First, the drive came from abroad, which I knew when I ordered it. What I didn't know was that it would have European and UK powerโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Security

NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN THE USA (CAUTION CAUTION)

The power supply included with this hard drive has interchangeable outlet adapters. The instructions list 6 different adapters but only those intended for UK and European sockets. This product will not work out of the box in the US without a UK to US or Europe to US power adapter. You may see other reviews on this product complaining about the same issue, but Revain continues to allow this product to be sold in the US. One of their customer service representatives told me that they could notโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Minority

POS should not be available for purchase in the US

Comes with a plug that works in the US but I've never managed to get it to work; sent it back to Revain UK for a refund. If there is a problem, I will dispute the charges on my Discover card. This should NOT be offered for sale in the US as it is not possible to replace the power plug with the US version. A total waste of my time and now I have to wait who knows how long for a refund on my purchase! Complete nonsense IMHO!

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • I'll add later

Not for sale in USA

I ordered this TB HD from Western Digital. It's strange that it was brought from the UK. When it arrived it had a UK plug and a Euro plug. Totally incompatible with the US and should not have been sold in the US. Now I'm being told I must pay at least $160 to return this item! I'll contact Revain and the credit card company.

Pros
  • Dream come true
Cons
  • Great price

Not for American outlets

Fast delivery. The listing didn't say where it came from until it was shipped. Came from Europe and didn't have a suitable power adapter for US outlets. Had to buy a $17 AC adapter so my offer was no longer an offer.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Good product missing part

I have had several WD products and they have all been reliable. I bought this to pair with my new custom 24 inch iMac. When I received my system and wanted to connect the drive, I was missing a US plug on the power cord connector. I had European and Asian adapters, but no American two-pronged ones. Instead of returning the $39 AC adapter I bought and using a European plug for US capabilities. Seems to be working fine. I just think WD's quality control should be better.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Bad set

Incredibly easy to use and inexpensive for keeping

I was concerned that this product page didn't say anything about MAC compatibility but I bought it anyway. I was able to light it up and use it immediately. My only complaint is that it comes with a weird foreign power adapter that doesn't work in the US. Luckily I have many other drives so I was able to use one of their power supplies.

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Great investment but only one caveat.

If you are located in the US, please note that this seller is based overseas. As a result, you get a power supply with UK and European plugs, not American ones. want to change the file system to NTFS.* It offers a lot of storage space but is very portable - its physical size is the same as other WD My Books drives.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Repair
