Review: Exactly what I wanted. - I bought this for my Xbox One to store some additional games. Aside from looking like a boss hard drive, it's also the first result when you search for "7200rpm external hard drive". I imagine that's why you see so many reviews from fellow Xbox One owners. Anyway, my Xbox One's internal storage was 92% filled up so it was time to upgrade. Pros 1. The thing feels really solid. The actual external closure is made out of metal while the stand is made out of plastic. The connections in the back, the power switch, and all of it feels like a complete and sturdy package. I imagine it'll last for a long time if I treat it right (assuming the drive isn't a dud, which happens from time to time). It looks awesome sitting next to my xbox one. 2. 2TB as advertised and so far it's taken all the games I own (about 12, of varying sizes) with about 75% of its capacity left to play with. Transfers have been (relatively) quick and painless. The formatting process on the Xbox One was also quick and painless. 3. The drive turns off when the console turns off. Woot! 4. The 7200rpm vs 5400rpm debate is long and tedious. I will say this. On an old 3TB 5400rpm drive, I got exactly ONE bit of stutter while playing a game on NHL 16. With the 7200rpm, I got no stutters on that game. So even if the benefits are minuscule, sometimes that's enough to even out the rough edges. Glad I went 7200rpm. 5. Unless I update and say that the drive failed, assume the drive continues to live :) Cons 1. I wish the USB 3.0 cable were a bit longer. Kind of limits my placement of this device. I may have to buy a slightly longer one if my current placement doesn't work out. 2. A mode to turn the blue light off would've been nice. It is kind of harsh. Some things of note: 1. This really is just a 7200rpm hard drive wrapped up in a really cool, all metal enclosure. By that I mean (I'm like 95% certain) that there's no difference between this and a 7200rpm drive you buy for your desktop computer. In reality, you could probably pick up a 7200rpm drive, buy an enclosure, and create something like this yourself if you're tech-savvy DIY type. I'm tech savvy, but I'm notoriously bad at DIY which is why I got this one. 2. Because it is pretty much a standard, desktop-grade 7200rpm hard drive, the snicks and wizzes that people are hearing are actually totally normal. That's what desktop HDDs sound like. Some may think it's too loud or worrisome, I can tell you it's not. That's what my computer hard drive sounds like and it's still ringing after 5 years. Overall, I'm currently super happy about my purchase. It's working very well and my games play extremely well off of it. Don't listen to the debates, there's really not much of a real-world difference between 5400rpm and 7200rpm, but if you're like me and you want to go that "little, itty bitty" extra mile with your Xbox One, this is a good drive to do it with. Just point the light the other way so it burns holes in your walls instead of your retinas! :D
Review: I just got this drive, but so far it's the best external HD I've owned to date. - I've been a professional graphic and web designer for more than 15 years, and I've owned external hard drives from all the major manufacturers, and a few in between. I currently have a Lacie, a Seagate, a WD and this new Fantom sitting on my desk. This Fantom drive replaces a CalDigit Media Drive, for which I paid more than twice as much, and which was only 1 TB. That drive, hyped as a reliable pro-quality drive, was noisy and lasted less than two years. It started making loud clunking noises and spinning all the time, and I replaced it before I experienced any data loss, but it was about dead. The CalDigit external drive required me to push an "on" button with every startup; unlike any of my other drives, it would not mount on its own. This Fantom drive is quieter than any of my other hard drives, and it mounts automatically when I boot my Mac. I'm using it as my Time Machine drive, and so far it's working flawlessly. It's also a very sleek-looking drive, with a nice brushed-steel black finish, and it looks thinner on my desktop than the main image in this listing makes it appear. A nice blue LED assures me that it's turned on. The feel of this enclosure is that it's well made, a real quality deal. I haven't tested it for speed, but it's a 7200-rpm drive, and it's fast enough for backups for sure. I'll need new computer with USB 3.0 to really appreciate the transfer speed. I would recommend this drive to anyone who wants a solid, well-built desktop hard drive. UPDATE: It's now March of 2015, and this drive, alongside its twin, are still humming along nicely doing a lot of heavy lifting. My Mac Pro user folder is on one, and Time Machine is on the other, and I've yet to have any issue with these drives running nearly 24/7. Awesome!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and affordable
*by R***Y on June 11, 2021*

I have purchased at least 10 Fantom external drives over the years starting with a couple of 250GB models back when that was considered "huge", and gradually adding a few 1TB, 2TB, and most recently a couple of 4TB models to the lineup. In spite of some reviewers claiming spotty quality, my experience with these drives has been nothing short of perfect. I use some for rotating backups so they are not powered on all the time. But I also have 5 operating 24/7 on my local network and have been for years without a single fault. When my storage needs outpaced the 250GB and 1TB models I simply replaced their HDD with larger ones. True the earlier models have USB2 interface but so what. If massive high speed data transfer isn't a necessity then USB2 works just fine. And common sense should tell you any spinning storage device needs to be on battery backup. All my Fantom drives are powered from UPS so maybe that contributes to my 0% failure rate, maybe not. Who knows. Hard disks fail and that's just a fact of life. But proper use, handling, and storage goes a long way to maximizing their life span. Bottom line, these are good units and I will continue buying them as needed.
