2Tb External Hard Drive With Firewire 800

Using the enclosure for external drive on MacBook Pro 13 unibody. Wanted the Firewire 800 speed for an external bootable drive. Found it best to follow instructions of NOT screwing the hard drive down to the heat sink(even though there were enough screws in the package to do so). As it turned out two of the drives I was using were bad so it was easy to just open the end-cap and slide the I/O board with hard drive out to replace then slide it back in. The two end-caps (one permanent the other has screws to hold it in place) hold parts inside fairly well with a 2.5 5400 rpm SATA hard drive. This case is not intended to be water-proof, shock-proof or dust-proof etc. Just an enclosure for an external hard drive best used laying flat and still. Happy with the fact that package includes USB 2 to USB 3 cable as well as Firewire 800 cable. device is capable of daisy-chaining Fireire 800 devices since it has two ports. Included is a pleather carrying case. Has a tiny on-off switch. Case is see-through clear plastic with reasonably thick construction. The blue LED when turned on is a good visual cue not to shake or move the enclosure as the hard-drive is on and spinning. Careful not to tighten side screws to hold the end-cap in place is they may strip or crack the plastic piece.

I bought this drive to be able to shoot RAW images and be able to edit them on the go without having to worry about running low on internal hard drive space it was an necessary upgrade. The G-Raid mini helped me with both of these issues. Not only did it give me more space but thanks to the RAID it also performed far better than any of my firewire 800 external hard drives. The best aspect of the drive is that its firewire 800 powered, but unlike many other firewire 800 powered drives on the market, this drive has a second firewire 800 for daisy-chaining. Having this option has allowed me to hook up my firewire 800 CF card reader and be able to work efficiently on tight deadlines.. The protective pouch is a nice complimentary bonus to keep the drive in super good shape. The eSATA is a nice, but I haven't been able to use it with my Macbook Pro 17 since my Griffin eSATA expresscard doesn't respond to it. The only downfall to this product is that in order to switch from RAID0 to RAID1, the drive has to be completely formatted, and there is no notice included with the product that mentions the drive needs to be formatted. Overall its a wonderful product, and I'm convinced that if I need more space in the future I will be purchasing more of these.

At first I was skeptical with the dimensions that my Seagate 2TB External Hard Drive would fit into this case. I called the store and the gentleman assured me it would. So, I got it. This case provides the protection I need to carry my External Hard Drive from one location to another and with the hard-shell design, I can have confidence that my external hard drive will function when I plug it in to my laptop.

I am using this case to store my WD 2TB My Passport External Hard Drive. The cover is semi rigid which provides some protection against accidentally banging the hard drive, although I would not want to drop the hard drive. It also provides a separate area for storing the USB cable which comes with the hard dive. Very convenient.

Very compact and secure 2TB external hard drive. Great for backup of essential data (pictures, journal, notes,....) while traveling. Password protected.

The LaCie 2TB Rugged External Hard Drive Does what it is advertised to do. It works with ease and connected with my MacBook Pro with no issues. It was definitely use friendly and began to Back up my Mac Immediately. I have several other LaCie Rugged Hard Drives, and they are great to travel with, small light and durable. I will definitely continue with this brand.

I bought the Seagate 2tb plus slim external hard drive and this case fit it perfectly. Also, it has a little pouch to keeps my usb wire. Its small enough so that I don’t have to carry around anything bulky with me but big enough to fit some other accessories I might need when I carry around my external hard drive. I love the color and it fits of course in my bag without taking up much room and also fits in the inside of my jacket. I really like how quickly it was delivered and packaged safely. All around a great buy. Recommend it to anyone needed to protect their hard drive.

The Seagate 2TB Backup Plus Slim external hard drive is small and convenient to carry. Also, it holds a lot of data for its small size. In the two months I've owned it, it has worked perfectly.

I have several of the 2TB Barracuda 3.5 Internal Desktop Hard Drive by Seagate. I used them with as backup repositiries utilizing a NewerTech Voyager SATA drive dock. it is a Multi-Interface Dock that i can use with any size drive. Instead of having one big external backup unit, or several individual external drives - I use the voyager and back up each of the four drives in my macPro. I also use these drives internally when needed.

I received my 2TB external hard drive 2 days ago and have since backed up all the data on my computer. The external is quick and reliable thus far and I'm overall very pleased with the product and price. The external was $$cheaper here *so I was able to justify purchasing 3 years of warranty with my savings. This is my first B&H purchase, and I will be back for many more :).Best,Tara
