Great product that does exactly what I wanted.

I have had a 1TB drive for a few years now and am very happy with the longer write time and have not had any issues with it. Sometimes you have to reset your satellite receiver and drive once or twice a year so they can see each other, but this is likely caused by power outages. This is a great product that does exactly what I want it to do. That's why I'm now online to ban the purchase of a 2TB drive.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Performance speed

Advertised to work with Dish Network - doesn't work

I bought this hard drive specifically to work with Dish Network because it was designed for that purpose. That does not work. I also had the pleasure of spending over an hour on the phone with Dish Network representatives who didn't know what they were doing. So my premium for a working drive was a waste of time and money.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • sad packaging

  • This is driving me insane
