Junk. Do not purchase

(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Apr 2, 2004
I would recommend you stay away from this drive as I have lost all my data and is unrecoverable. The drive started to make loud buzzing noises then it died. It was only a few months old. Stay away!

Great external hard drive.

(5 out of 5) by Jason Presser on Jun 18, 2004 (Lexington,KY)
I own two of these drives and have them filled with music and data that I access regularly and have had no problem with them. I think it is great these can be stacked without extra cords. They have both ran for a year problem free so I have no problem recommending them. If you have need for large storage these might be your answer. Especially if you hate cords!!!

I've had the drive for several years. Periodically it would lock up and I would have to unplug and replug. Last week it locked up permanently (the red light stays on) and I cannot access my data. I contacted Acomdata customer support several times with no response. I've read that others have been unable to get support. Not a reliable product or company!
