Doesn't work with our app

The product arrived on time and as advertised, but our receiver didn't recognize the disc. We replaced another drive and it worked fine.

Pros
  • Datastore
Cons
  • Zero

Rattle, rattle, rattle

The drive and controller appear to function normally when used with the Arris DCX3320e-M DVR. Plenty of space compared to the internal storage of the receiver. Still, it's very noisy, especially if you're using FF or FR with a DVR. I've tried it in different positions but it seems to be noisy no matter what position it is in. Second, while the color is nice, the blue activity light on the front is too bright and distracting as it's blinking most of the time. Easily removed with a piece of tape.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Quality

Had a terrible time with Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR

I used a different external hard drive with my SA 8300HD but this sometimes caused the image to freeze so I looked for a hard drive that worked better. I bought this Fantom drive because it specifically says it is compatible with the Scientific Atlanta 8300HD. It connected perfectly, but I immediately saw a freezing problem, but much worse than any previous drive. I even gave it a few weeks to "settle in" but it didn't get any better. Even if you don't record anything, just save the "Live…

Pros
  • Comes with easy instructions, DVR expander, stand, USB 3 0 cable and eSATA cable
Cons
  • . The list is long.
