what do you know about the fantom G force 2 tb ext hard drive GF3B2000U

I know nothing about the 2TB one. I bought the 3TB and that has been the first one I purchased from Micronet. So far, it works fine.

I do not own the 2 GB version; however, I have two 3GB versions and I love them. Never a problem and they are relatively fast on the USB 3.0 ports. Easy to install, basically plug-n-play.

I bought this unit for my husband when he was switching all of his info from Windows XP to Windows 7. He loves it. I bought this unit for him after having bought a Fantom for myself about 5 years ago. That unit is still going strong -- has taken me from Windows XP to Vista to 7. I bought my original Fantom on a recommendation of my sister, who still has her original Fantom, which is now about 7 years old.

I bought one and I use it. Windows 7 Backup doesn't work with it, so I use a 3rd party backup. It has a USB 3 interface, but I have only USB 2. The disk works fine.

The unit I receive was a re-fab with a 5400 rpm western digital hdd. I hope that helps.

Sorry, but the one I purchased just want out of its warranty and it died on me 1 week later. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS DRIVE FOR IMPORTANT DATA.When I now plug it in, all I hear is a click, click, click, so it is dead. I will never purchase another one of these!

I have had the drive as my main operating system, as well as mass storage drive for almost a year, and so far, it has been reliable, fast, and quiet. However, as the previous person responded, I am using Linux, which does put less stress on the drive and the file system is a bit better at file allocation, ETC...My experience is very positive in this environment. (Using the 3TB version partitioned into three sections)

No idea other than that it is a piece of crap. Customer service sucks too. I will never ever buy a seagate product.

I used the system profiler to check mine. I believe you can right click and select get info to see the specifics of the drive as well

I don't have this hard drive yet, they have not sent it back to me. But it is not a network storage device, it connects to your computer via firewire or USB. At least that's what it should do.

That raises the question: What is the "proper packaging" for this drive? And the corollary question: How do you know it when you see it? What I do know is that mine has worked without a qualm since I bought it.

I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt. But I can say that it is 7200 RPM drive with both USB 3.0 and Firewire connections which seem to be the current state-of-the art. But it should provide more than adequate use for many years to come - that is the reason that I have purchased it for my system. I hasten to add that I have not received it yet and have no actual hands-on experience with this model although I do have two previous G-Technology drives and they continue to work flawlessly. I just need more storage capacity for my Timemachine files.I hope this info helps. I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt.

It has three USB 3.0 ports. I like Western Digital hard drives. Haven't had one fail yet!

Have you received it yet? I am curious if the unit has a 250 or 320 gb hard drive. both sizes are indicated in the description.

The link is showing different drives (Western Digitial, Hitachi, Seagate and Toshiba). Which model are you referring to?

I don't think it's official but I have had zero problems out of mine since I got it. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a hard drive.. Paying more for the Microsoft model is no bueno.. Worked just the same so far.

Yes and no, I have two of them (2TB and 4TB), the 2TB is 7200 but the 4TB is 5900. It appears all of them are 7200 except for the 4TB.The models of the actual (internal) drives are ST2000DM001 and ST4000DM000. In case you want to google some more.

Sorry, I cannot answer your technical question. Perhaps you could access the G-Technology G-Drive website. It may provide the specifications, technical information and applications for your external hard drive.
