With HybridDrive you can do more. Do it faster. And do it almost anywhere. Customer Reviews Works great Date: 2007-07-23 | Rating: 5 I bought mine some 6 months ago. Followed the instructions and works great with my computer (2005 Apple Powerbook G4, MacOS X 10.4). It handles my photo vault, iTunes library, video library and most of my documents. I'm a happy customer :-) Update: My unit died right after the warranty expired. I would expect at least three years of service from a hard drive, not just one. In any case, when it worked it did great, but the reliability is now in doubt. Not a happy customer anymore :-( No problems so far...small, quiet, and fast! Date: 2007-10-30 | Rating: 5 I own two of these drives (connected via Firewire to an iMac) and am about to buy a third. So far the only criticism I have is that the power light is overly bright...otherwise the drives are compact, quiet, and fast. I'm not sure if I've been able to beat the odds so far or if only the people who have received problematic drives have written reviews, but I've been impressed enough with the two I have to want another. (If things change I'll post an update.) It is what it is. Date: 2007-11-05 | Rating: 4 This is a basic external USB 2.0 drive for a decent price. The HybridDrive moniker simply means that while plugged in, the drive shows up as both a virtual CD-Rom drive and a standard hard disk. The Virtual CD-Rom drive autoplays when the drive is plugged in and is used for initial setup and later for both the password feature and for Nomad Desktop. The password system is well implemented and may be useful for some (it can be easily turned off too). Nomad Desktop allows one to run a few preinstalled applications (e.g., Open Office and a backup suite) directly from the drive. Overall, the drive works well on Windows XP and has adequate speed when used as a storage or backup drive. It does not appear to support any power management and the drive does not spin down. Regardless, it remains relatively quiet. It comes formatted as a large 465 Gibibyte FAT32 partition. Because of the limitations of FAT32 (max 4 GB file size, large cluster size, and limited number of total files supported), it would be advisable to reformat this to NTFS or similar modern file system. Some vista problems, no serious quality issues Date: 2008-01-11 | Rating: 4 This drive is quiet, fast and the added capacity is great. On my XP system, it works fine. The only issue I have with the included software is that it doesn;t work well with 'Large Fonts' installed in Display Properties. (the software on my U3 Sandisk Cruzer drive adapts perfectly to the font size) On my Vista machine, there are some problems with the drive mounting. The 'CD part' would mount, and when I clicked the utility to launch the 'HD Part', it kept refusing my password to login; but it WOULD allow me to change the password! Then it would refuse the newly-created password. Finally, I used the utility to simply enter my password and disable password protection altogether: for some crazy reason, that works. No help found on Acomdata's site. WRT quality, I have an older Acomdata drive and I notice this seems a little different. Case perhaps flimsier. One noticeable difference is a rather flimsy cheap-looking power supply with a thin cable & simple coax type connector. The older one had a thicker cable and large multi-pin cable and it felt solid. I don't know if that's because it may have had dual voltages, better grounding or what. Still, I have had no data failures or noise yet (have filled up about 150GB so far). Problem is: we live in a Walmart world. 'Cheap' sells. So don't expect perfect software, utilities, Vista compatibility etc...I think this drive is probably just as good as others I've seen and read reviews for lately...they probably are ALL getting cheaper in terms of quality and price. Sleek case, low price, decent hardware, but some overblown and fiddly software. Date: 2007-11-08 | Rating: 4 The fundamentals of the Acomdata 500gb are fine: the case is nice and sleek. No fan - so very quiet, but doesn't run overly hot. The face plate is stuck on with adhesive, and mine started to come off - so I bent it slightly and stuck it back in place and have no other cosmetic issues since. This drive only has a USB2 interface (no firewire or e-sata) but the price is incredibly low - almost as cheap as a bare drive. I could quibble that the power supply uses an odd 4 pin connector and is somewhat large and heavy - but that's minor. As for speed, I get close to the usb2 theoretical. There's no problem there. The more major quibble concerns the Nomad software suite. The "Hybrid Drive" takes up 2 drive letters - an emulated 122mb CDROM containing the software and drivers, and your 465gb FAT32 drive. If you choose to install the software (300mb required) you'll find that a lot of this software is cool open source stuff - but it adds a layer of complexity to what should be simple. Fortunately it's simple to get rid of - just reformat the drive - so no complaining. I chose to keep it because there's a decent free backup package (Redemption) and a utility which allows you to password protect the drive (not hard core - but better than nothing). (FYI - there's also Open Office, Skype, and Thunderbird.) Also, there's the previously mentioned issue of the FAT32 format (to allow compatibility with the Window95/98/Me stragglers, I imagine. A questionable choice for a large drive - but is practical in my heterogenous XP/98 environment. If you want to make it NTFS, just reformat. FYI - I did not test with Vista. I have no problem recommending this drive. If you end up hating it you can just take the drive mechanism out and mount it in something else. There's almost no cost downside since it's so cheap.

Features - 250GB USB2.0/eSATA Exter.Drive Product Description 250GB 5400RPM External 2.5*Executive Hard Drive - USB 2.0 & eSATA Customer Reviews Quality drive with some nice features Date: 2008-09-30 | Rating: 5 I purchased this to replace my 160GB hard drive that just wasn't cutting it. I like the 2.5" drives because they are USB powered and don't require a bulky power cord to carry around. I checked the Seagate, Maxtor, Iomega and others. The acomdata is by far superior. It offers USB 2.0 and eSATA. It feels very durable and the enclosure is wrapped in leather that matches the carrying case that comes with it. Best of all it was cheaper than the competition. Excellent Drive Date: 2008-09-08 | Rating: 5 This drive works better than I had imagined. I expected it to be slow based on other reviews but it's actually faster than I expected. Easy to use and recognized by my system as soon as I plugged it in. I bought two and would not hesitate to buy again. GREAT Date: 2009-02-08 | Rating: 5 This product is great: very small, and you do not need to plug it to a plug for it to work, which makes it very easy to use. In addition; no need of software installation to use it; just plug it in. I love it! Reliable, great look and feel and THE eSATA WORKS Date: 2009-11-14 | Rating: 5 My OS: 64bit Windows Vista I also did a NTFS reformat of it, because in order to store very large files you need to switch from FAT32 to NTFS I wanted a 500gb portable drive with eSATA and I bought this one even though I saw that other reviewers say their eSATA doesn't work. The eSATA does work, but you need to give the drive enough power. I tested to see if the eSATA worked by 3 ways: 1. I followed the directions: plugged in the eSATA cord first, then plugged in the USB. It shows as a normal drive, not a "Removeable USB Storage Device" 2. Next I took out everything, and just put the USB in. Now it shows as a "Removeable USB Storage Device" 3. Finally I plugged the USB into an AC power source, not the computer, and then plugged the USB into the drive and the eSATA in. The drive shows up even though its only connected through the eSATA. If the eSATA isn't working when you plug the USB in, then plugin two USB connects into your computer, so that it makes sure to have enough power to run the eSATA since the eSATA doesn't provide power to the device alone. The drive comes with a split USB connection, in the manual it says to try using both of the USBs on the computer end of the cable if your eSATA doesn't appear. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product. It comes with its own leather carrying case too that even holds the USB cable(also included) as well as the drive. The drive itself is very light weight and the design ,the leather with stitching with chrome accents, looks and feels great. The drive does not get very hot, even with long use. I am currently using it to backup my files before I switch over to windows 7. The Calvary drive has similar eSATA issues, I think its just that the drives aren't getting enough power because some USB ports don't provide enough power with just one usb connected. Great Drive - Great Value Date: 2009-03-18 | Rating: 5 I bought this HDD about two months ago and tested it extensively before writing this review. I haven't had any issues so far. The drive itself and the pouch that comes with it have a nice high quality leather finish. Performance is good too - when copying large files via USB 2.0, I get between 25 and 30 Mbps constantly. With eSata, transfers starts of at about 80 Mbps and stabilizes at around 60Mbps. (Tests were done on Windows Vista and an internal SataII HDD.) I would definitely recommend this external HDD to anyone looking for high quality and great value.

It looks slick, takes up little space and is very quiet. It is nice not having to listen to my old Maxtor drive's loud fan noise and vibration. The LCD light on the front of the drive could be a bit smaller and not as bright. By the way, at the time of this review the 640GB unit actually costs less than the 500GB unit, and they appear to be identical except the capacity. MY 1ST BACKUP HD Date: 2009-02-14 | Rating: 5 The company delivered my order in a timely fashion. Setting up, following the directions, and daily use was user friendly and uncomplicated. The "cost vs product specs", for me, turned out to be a "Real value for what I paid". The volume capacity and product features matched and in most cases exceeded comparable products/manufacturers offerings when I did my comparison shopping before purchase. In short, "I'm a happy shopper". Again, as in past experiences dealing through Amazon.com, I was not disappointed! Thanks Amazon.

Customer Reviews Great quality Date: 2008-07-30 | Rating: 5 I actually bought this on sale to pull the drive out and use it in my computer. I ended up liking the case itself so much I put another drive in it and use it all the time. My only complaint is that the activity/power light is REALLY bright, which seems to be more and more common on externals now. I fixed that by sticking a piece of black electrical tape over it and leaving a sliver at the top so I can still see activity without being blinded. The drive stays cool by spinning down when idle and is fan-less, but the case is aluminum for heat dissipation. It isn't crash-proof, it is an excellent hard drive! Date: 2008-11-29 | Rating: 5 I have been using external drives for years and I have had drives fail from all the big names. I am sure this one will fail eventually too. I no longer expect a hard drive to last forever. Having such expectations will only bring you anguish when the drive gives up the ghost and you lose precious data. No matter the brand of hard drive, you *must* back up your data. AcomData drives are quiet, small, fast, simple (no bells and whistles), inexpensive and solidly built. I have had my AcomData 1 TB drive for about 6 months. This drive has more than exceeded my expectations and I will most certainly be buying more. Excellent Buy! Date: 2008-12-16 | Rating: 5 I've used this for several months running processes that has kept it copying/writing files for over 8 hours at a time. I've put this through a serious workout and it has worked flawlessly. I'm considering getting another one. Perfect for my needs. Date: 2008-11-15 | Rating: 5 I researched hard drives for about 2 months before I bought this one. I'll be honest, I bought it based on the reviews. My worry was that I would get what I paid for, that it would be made of inexpensive material and just feel "cheapy." Nothing could be further from the truth. I don't know why this drive is less expensive than the others, I'm sure there's some technologic reason, but it suits my needs perfectly. I use it for backing up pictures, home movies, documents, etc and it works perfectly for that purpose. As the other reviewers have mentioned, if you have massive amounts of data to transfer, it will run hot due to the fact that is has no fan. The upside is that it's dead silent. You can hear it power up, but after that it's absolutely silent. It also feels solid and is heavy. This helps me know that it's not going to break easily or fall apart on me. It's also visually appealing. And last but not least, it's very compact for a 1TB drive. It's roughly the size of a 5x7 picture and about an inch thick. How can you go wrong with that? Believe the other reviewers, this is a very good, inexpensive hard drive. Just the thing for backups Date: 2008-11-23 | Rating: 5 I own a MacBook and needed an external backup. The AcomData 1 TB 3.5 inch drive was just the thing. Works without a hitch using TimeMachine, the Mac backup program, looks great and the small size of the external drive's enclosure unclutters my desk, while still providing a lot of storage. I've had the drive about a month and use it not only every day, but every hour! A very nice addition to complete my computer needs and at an even nicer price.
