 Great buy September 23, 2008

I brought one of these for my step son who is at university.
It means he can bring his work, pictures, music back with him when he comes home.
He raves about it and says he has had no problems in the year that he has been using it.

Bought the hard disk a month ago and I am very happy with it. Hard disk feels tough just as its name and inspires confidence. Will not worry about dropping it and losing my data.
Initially had trouble with my desktop not recognizing the hard disk. Got onto the internet, registered my product on Freecom's website and raised a ticket as to my problem. Reply came promptly next day asking me for my address so they can post me a 5V DC power supply. Provided the address and got reply same day that item has been posted to me. Got the item within 2 days and I was up and running. Incredible customer service...got replies faster than Clint Eastwood drawing his gun!
Bundled software is NTI Shadow which is pretty basic and only has the cumulative backup option and no synchronize backup option. Suggest using Syncback SE which is brilliant.
All in all a superb piece of kit with incredibly quick customer service. Highly recommended.

I've had a 250 Gb Toughdrive for 3 months now (bought from Amazon). It's been with me everywhere; including a 3 week trip in May to a hot and dusty warzone (no prizes for guessing who I work for). It's worked faultlessly throughout, despite the extreme temperatures, sand and more than just a few knocks. I did reformat it as soon as I got it to NTFS so that I could store DVD image files on it (they are over 4 Gb so won't work on FAT 32).
Data security wise, I use a combination of Truecrypt (www.trucrypt.org) and NTI Shadow to ensure my personal data was continuously backed up from my laptop to an encrypted volume on the toughdrive. Again this all worked faultlessly.
I particularly like the fixed short USB lead and that you can confidently chuck the drive into your backpack without surrounding it in neoprene or bubble wrap. This all means there's only one thing to remember (nothing worse than having the drive with the data you need, but you've forgotten to pack the cable).
In summary the toughdrive has proven itself as an amazingly rugged bit of kit for the price, and deserves the 5 stars. I would pay more for guaranteed water-resistance (the toughdrive does not claim to be water-resistant although some reviews suggest it might be), but perhaps that's asking a bit too much.

I paid something like 40 over the odds for this product under the illusion that it would be especially reliable and resilient for the use I had in mind. Instead, the LED indicator light has failed after a couple of months so you can no longer tell whether it is in the "connected" or "disconnected" state. What is worse, for the first time in my experience of buying technology on the Internet, the manufacturer seems to regard their failure as my fault and require me to pay to deliver the rejected drive to them for replacement. Based on this experience, I strongly recommend against buying Freecom products.
