Stay away! On my Mac it has failed several times. I am not sure how it works on Windows.

William...... My son and I recently purchased one of these drives for our MacMini. We have a small photography business (Armillaryinc.com) and are now using the drive as part of our normal processing and as an integral part of our backup strategy. We are very pleased with the device. Hope this helps! Best of luck.

Hi William: I have so far had a good experience with the LaCie 3TB minimus (with Windows 7). It is possible I may have a review of it on Amazon. My concerns were largely issues of formatting a 3TB drive. But an official vendor's quote could be taken if you make a pdf of the Amazon page for the relevant product. I would think the same goes for any other site. And give the school a printout of the pdf. They can verify it independently as well once you have given them the pdf. If the school is bureaucratic about it get written quotes from neighbourhood computer stores. That ought to do it. Good luck!!

Rose, I believe I ordered 3 additional disk when I purchased the 750 drive. I use to have (and still do) have a 150 omega drive, but it isn't compatible with the new PCs. If you are referring to an instructional CD disk, Mine did not come with one.

I didn't have any issues with the disk I would try the vendors website, they work great by the way

I was going to buy it here on Amazon but Newegg.com had an even better deal. For $390 they threw in an extra 1TB hard drive. Pretty good deal. Can't wait to test this baby out.

The website provided by C. Burkhart doesn't work. I'd really like to get all the disks. Anyone have a current address where to order them?

I'm going to only answer this from the perspective of a personal opinion. I have never owned a DROBO older models or newer models. However Many of the folks I know that have owned them don't see to be going back to them as they expand. I have at least 6 different TB drives from LaCie. They have been pretty reliable all things considered. It's what I'll use in the future and what I recommends to friends. If they start failing on me which all drives seem to do sooner or later I might change. The Lacie 5 appears to be fairly easy to upgrade or change drives out. I like having that option though I haven't used it yet.

Zotacs proposal is the less the best. It doesnt come with anything. Not even a hard drive. Every thing is your choice. You decide what os or hd you want.

Comes with USB 3.0 and eSATA cables. Unscrew case cover, slide out disk caddy, install a 3.5mm disk drive in the caddy, slide drive caddy back into case, screw closed. Connect to computer w/either cable. Drive will mount as a drive in Windows, linux, mac

It's a typo on Amazon. The drive is SATA III. Hardly any drive are SATA III anymore. Click here -> http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1049&language;=1

Upon further research, Conexant offers NO end user support, & suggests trying the source. I bought mine from the "Neewer" store at Amazon. Their website was no help either. Like I said, if you can't find your original mini-disk in the box, I'll send you one.

You will need Proof of Purchase. I got the drives from Amazon, so that was easy. Call Buffalo's 24x7 Support Center at (866)752-6210. Ask them for an RMA. Follow their instructions precisely. You will get your new drive in a few days. R Cooper (below) is right. Take the drive out of the enclosure, otherwise it will run hot and fail in a year or so. You will not have a warranty any longer, but may have a drive that lasts more than 12 months.

I ordered mine from Amazon.com (not a third party seller). Mine came in a box. The drive itself was in a static shielded bag, but it was secured in plastic retainers. It looked like this: http://www.thinkcomputers.org/reviews/wd_caviarblack_1tb/1.jpg

I know this is an old thread but if you're still looking...I bought a 3 TB for $169 at a big box store with a yellow logo.Probably not much help if you're not in the US but Amazon has it for $149 - USB 3 too!

Hi D. Petitpas,I was wondering if anyone would ever reply to my post. I didn't know that these drives were shipped pre-formated and I don't think that it is listed in it's description here on Amazon. Thank you so very much for setting me straight!

Hello! How are you? The connector will come with it when you order it. It is a very good hard drive. It is very thin and light. It is my favorite hard drive.
