Best hard drive, February 9, 2008
By
Steve SembritzkyI now own 4 of these hard drives. I use them for storing my video clips while using FCP. Video is the most demanding use of any hard drive and these drives have done an outstanding job. Also I do not find them to be that noisy, in fact they are quieter than most drives. I have been using these drives for about 2 years and plan to buy more.
Big But Noisy For Some Folks, November 30, 2007

J. RamseyThis one terabyte drive is big enough to tackle the needs of most any personal computer user out there. The ratings all over the Web suggest better than average life span and few failures out of the box.
If you're into the metallic aluminum look of a lot of electronics today, this will fit right in with your decor. The bright white light on the front of the drive (dare I say beacon?) stays lit 100% of the time, and if the drive is reading/writing data, the light flashes like an white LED strobe light. Some will love it and some will put black tape over the supernova white lamp.
It has a cooling fan at the rear end and holes on front, back and sides for full airflow. The biggest negative is the noise factor. The thing whirrs constantly at high speed. If you have an older PC with a traditional cooling fan, you'll never notice the G-Raid drive over the PC noise. But if you have a newer model, super quiet PC, or an iMac (which is absolutely silent), you'll be looking for a distant spot to locate the whirring G-Raid. Luckily the drive comes with a long (about 4') cable that can run either 400 or 800 FireWire. USB 2.0 is also supported. -1 star for the noise factor.
