Cavalry CAXE CAXE3701T0 1TB External Hard Drive PC-Ready - Retail

Comment:
Lots of storage, low cost price, eSATA kit The activity light on this drive is seriously bright. I wouldn't acquire this drive for a pc in a bedroom or anywhere that you would want dim lights simply because the activity light is about as vibrant as any I've noticed and can be actually distracting

Cheep storage!!! Good solution for the dollars. Has each usb and esata. Esata is worth spending a tiny much more because it is so substantially faster transfer, but the usb is good for convience. Has a WD drive inside the heavy duty box as well. Appears effectively built. I like external drives for back up so you can turn them off when not in use that way they arent wearing out .Great price from New Egg and quick and free of charge shipping as well!!! Thanks None so far Has a case bracket/esata port so you can add that to any machine as extended as you have the room and a open sata port ...Good touch

eSata, selection of cables, relatively small device, fair cost I have had this device for about eight months. I've utilised it for backing up my Vista-64 technique through eSata and USB. Now when I plug in the drive, it at times gets recognized and sometimes not with either eSata or USB. Lately, when it does get recognized with eSata, I start the back-up and then it somehow looses the connection once again. If I plug it in through USB, it says drive detected but it doesn't show up anywhere to place data on it or get data off of it. No Manufacturer warranty? It was a fantastic item when it lasted, but not worth the investment if it becomes useless in eight months.

good spacious tough drive for a great cost, brings all the cables important to connect it how ever you want kinda big external drive.mine didn't bring the CD or manual emailed the organization about the manaul and CD and they said anything was on on the web, which is fine but it would've been much better to have every thing on CD

Total eSATA package right out of the box; really excellent worth for the money If I had to list a con I would reckon the also-intense blue light would be it. I was searching for a reasonably-priced 1 TB drive that came with all I needed, in the box, to hook up by means of eSATA on a Vista 64 machine. Following a lot of research I picked this Calvary product. In my distinct unit, the packaged drive is a Western Digital, WD10EAVS-00D7B1. I could not discover considerably information about this WD drive but I consider WD has an above average reputation for tough-drives, so I've got my fingers crossed that my practical experience will stay good. The hard-drive set-up was really smooth on my Gateway DX 4710-05 machine with Vista 64 House Premium. I applied the Vista back-up software utility and speed seemed quite speedy. Sorry no additional technical particulars but my initial impression of worth for the dollar and smooth set-up on Vista 64 is really positive.

Performs effectively. Quick Seek occasions, no troubles but. Can be loud at occasions when looking for some thing, also it is massive and has to be plugged in, so if you want an ultra transportable drive, this most likely isn't for you.

Formatted NTSF out of the box unlike numerous other drives. Transfers at about 11-12MB/sec through usb. Haven't tested eSATA however but assume it will be faster. Operates With Vista. Plug in and go. Front LED flashed in between blue and purple when the drive is active and stays steady blue when not in use. None so far Newegg got this to me in three days. From the time of obtain to when it was delivered was 3 days and 3 hours. Talk about quick and trusted service! The rush processing is WORTH it!

Affordable for the amount of space your acquiring, performs excellent. Only gripe I can honestly say is the bright blue light on the front of the drive..other than that it hasn't gave me any problems what-so-ever. Purchased to be used as a media movie storage center for streaming to be applied to hold my 720p񳀨p films, performs fine. Owned for probably around two months now.Suggest you obtain.

Great speed compare to USB drive ƒ-three occasions) . ESata bracket is included and very straightforward to install/use. None , it constantly can be little less costly !!

Good searching box, dead quiet when it runs, in no way got also hot when utilized for a when, front light not also annoying, has eSATA and USB. Mine has identical model quantity, but black case. Otherwise, all specs the same. Have utilised each eSATA and USB connections. Both function as they ought to, eSATA becoming quite a bit quicker. You can only have one or the other connected at a time. Connected as eSATA, I can boot off this drive on my G5 PowerMac. Mine came with a 1 TB Hitachi Deathstar drive. As lengthy as it works, every little thing is fine, but I've had problems with these drives in the past. Who knows? It could really give me that million hours quantity. All I ask is for is a warning just before the huge event. As I've blogged elsewhere, these drives would be nicer if they place the rocker switch in the front. Just about every single company puts them in the back, exactly where they are a discomfort to access for the users who only run them when they backup. Envision a Television set devoid of a remote and the on/off switch on the back of the set. What are these guys thinking?

More rapidly than I expected, I transfered about 20 gig of information onto this drive a few occasions and it took around 18 minutes. Its about the size of a cable modem and does come with all the cables. The light on the front may well annoy some but you can just turn the drive about if need be.

Comment:
Substantial, rapid drive. Making use of the eSATA I can leave video on the external drive for editing rather of transferring it to my internal drives. None so far. Good drive for the dollars. I wouldn't hesitate buying one more when this a single fills up.

I bought this HDD to have more room for recordings on my hddvr and so far it's been great. Setup was straightforward. I only disconnected my HDDVR from energy hooked the Cavalry sata to it and plugged it's power cord in and then the HDDVR power cord in and the hddvr did the rest and now I have a ridiculous amount of space. Would have been nice if they would have installed a fan on it. Even without having a fan it's been operating excellent and I don't see it breaking down soon. Led is a small as well vivid but it doesn't take long to get used to it.

eSATA connection in addition to USB two.. Very good space and make quality for the cost. The blue light on the front is pretty vivid. I maintain it in my bedroom so I could place tape more than it due to the fact its distracting. I bought this from Newegg. The initial a single I bought was DOA. I set up an RMA and got the replacement. It worked. I have the Scientific Atlanta 8240HDC (HD DVR box) via Cox. I maxed out the set best box and soon after adding this tricky drive, % utilized went from 98% to 17% full. I'm satisfied with it.

Inexpensive 1TB. eSATA integrated and cost-free shipping. worked proper out of the box formatted and prepared to go. not truly a con since it is no its fault. i bought this to use with my HR-22 DVR from directv and this model was stated to operate with my dvr according to a forum. the initial time i hooked it up the recordings and the system itself was a little buggy. i had to unplug the dvr and unplug the hardrive and then reset everything. i then plugged in the hardrive and gave it a minute or two to spin up. then i plugged in the dvr. following that the recordings and the method has worked exceptional. so if you are going to buy this drive to use with the DVR HR-22 form directv. then make positive you follow the appropriate process and unplug the DVR dont just restart it using the buttons they did not function for me. unplug almost everything then plug in drive and wait a minute then plug in the dvr. you should be set.

This is a fantastic drive. You can't beat the cost. I have mine set up with the eSATA connection and it operates great. It stays on 24ǝ with no challenge. It even has a energy switch on the back if you will need to cut off. Obtain it, you will not be let down. Newegg deliveried in a flash. None. Feel sorry for those who didnt buy this. Reads 903 gigs on my laptop or computer.

Fantastic Doorstop Horrible assistance. Drive died 31 days soon after receipt. Cavalry assistance (aka Bason Pc) is the worst in the sector. Sent them the RMA'd drive. They sent it ideal back. SILL BROKEN. Good!!! The ONLY way you can communicate with their assistance group is e-mail. Horrible firm.

I have this set up employing the bracket that came with and record / watch HD tv content material to it practically every day. It has never disconnected or required to be power cycled or anything so far as I can recall. The blue light is genuinely bright, it sits behind my Television and backlights it.

Easy to use, fantastic good quality case. Comes with SATA board for your pc and eSATA cable, and has nice power cord Only 931GB but that is normal

This thing was simple to set up and install, and the rebate at the time was received without having a hassle. Linked up to my HR21-700 DVR, and has worked perfectly. I had some hesitation switching to it permanently, but after I was lastly forced to due to needing the additional challenging drive space, I've by no means looked back. This is a great item to expand your DVR! There are a lot more affordable choices out there as far as 1TB tough drives go now a days, but those are mainly internal with no case, and are not guaranteed to operate with your DVR. Shipping was amazing as generally. It's excellent to be a newegg preferred buyer. You often get no cost rush shipping, and I practically constantly get my item in two days with paying only for typical shipping.

Economical, has eSATA. Utter garbage. 1st, mine arrived missing the eSATA cable - so I couldn't use the feature I purchased it for in the first spot! Transfers more than USB are so agonizingly slow, it was useless until Cavalry sent a replacement eSATA cable. Second, this device worked precisely After, for the duration of the 1st week I owned it, prior to receiving the eSATA cable which should have been in the box. When I ultimately got my eSATA cable currently, I was searching forward to using this drive, but now it won't even turn on. It's completely dead.Fortunately, all I was able to put on it, due to the lack of eSATA cable, was a handful of empty folders. I haven't tried any of the other external HDDs, so I can't say regardless of whether they're any far better. This 1 has surely been a disappointment.

I just received this tough drive nowadays. I like it. The transfer rate is fantastic and sufficient sufficient to run games as if they had been installed on an internal. For instance, Contact of Duty four ran nicely. Also, storing media and playing it back worked fine as well. The light isn't so significantly of a bother for me. The drive gets sort of warm, but that ought to be expected.
