Disappointed with the product and the seller

When received the drive was working but the fan was very noisy. A month after receipt, the fan stopped working and our documentation is missing. Contacted Revain who put us in touch with the seller. The vendor requested a screenshot of Disk Management - now confirmed a "mechanical" problem with the drive. But they want us to send it back for diagnosis at our expense. We want a replacement. The same request from the supplier - no answer. We didn't buy used, we want a new one. Unsatisfied! With a

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Attention buyers: warranty is now only 1 year

I have a bunch of Fantom external hard drives, ranging from 2TB to 8TB, mostly Pro versions, but versions too. The warranty on the Pro version was 3 years. Now I will be buying additional drives - I see that the manufacturer's website now says the warranty is limited to only 1 year. Most reviews and product detail pages here on Revain don't mention this - most reviews still say it comes with a 3 year warranty which is wrong. Buyer Warning. (Also note that WD My Book currently has a three-year…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Speed

Performs as expected

I bought this drive with the intention of backing up all my photo data once a week. What particularly attracted me to this drive were two things: 1) It used a USB3 Type-B connector, which is much stronger than the thin USB3 connectors (USB3 Micro-B) found on other mainstream external hard drives like WD and Seagate.2) The presence of a power button. I can't overstate my anger at the latest external hard drives that don't have a power button. I like to keep my external hard drives plugged in all

Pros
  • External hard drives
Cons
  • No performance

Beware of shiny things

I have several external hard drives. I know how to care for them and what not to do when moving them etc. I bought the Revain Fantom about a year ago because 1) I seem to remember that the company has a good reputation and 2 ) he was really beautiful from the outside . . In fact, if a hard drive could be sexy, this one would easily win. A few weeks later I tried to recover some files stored on the Phantom but couldn't find the drive in my computer's directory. I knew what that probably meant…

Pros
  • Data storage
Cons
  • So far so good

Hard drive clicks and fantom customer service don't help

I will update this review when this gets corrected. I really wanted to like this disc. I was very excited about that. I found a nice 7200 drive for a good price. I was thrilled to finally unbox it, plug it in, and start transferring data. Unfortunately, the drive immediately and incessantly began to crack and rattle. This happens both during data transfer and during data usage (I understand this is a mode of transfer). Do you copy files to disk? loops without end. Copy files from hard drive…

Pros
  • computers and accessories
Cons
