5 out of 5 stars Sorry, but I don't agree!.......2006-09-19

I bought mine for $215.00 almost 4 years ago, and it still works GREAT! I was a long-haul truck driver, and I needed something that didn't take up too much space. I used it on my truck for 2 years, and it worked well even when the truck was moving (CDs, you know). I especially like the fact that.it will play PAL as well as NTSC DVDs. I'm home now, and use it (still) as a backup machine. However I never used the battery, never even took it out of the box, so I can't testify as to it. I LOVE THIS MACHINE !!

1 out of 5 stars Not worth it.......2006-07-24

Died after a few months at which time the battery only lasted an hour, not worth it.

1 out of 5 stars Poor Service.......2006-07-10

The battery never held a charge. Sent message to customer service and never received a response. Wouldn't recommend this product or company.

1 out of 5 stars Breaks Down -- Warranty No Good!.......2005-11-12

I agree with all the other comments about this product not lasting very long. Ours worked fine for about a year then suddenly stopped playing for no reason. I called customer service and was basically told I was out of luck!

1 out of 5 stars Mine only lasted 7 months, they won't honor warranty!.......2005-08-11

Apex may be an inexpensive alternative for those of us on a small budget, but mine broke within 7 months and they won't honor the one year warranty. They said it would cost 215 dollars plus shipping and handling to repair a manufacturers default( the plastic just fell apart). Considering I only paid 100 dollars, I told them they were crazy. Then when I asked to speak to a supervisor they hung up on me. I guess it was great while it lasted.

        4 out of 5 stars Works Just Fine.......2007-12-09

        Works as advertised. I haven't been able to get an eSATA cable to try that out yet tho. The only quirk I've had with it is that it will turn itself on automatically when I boot up my computer and with Windows Vista, it hangs before getting to the Windows loading screen. It did not do this on my XP machine. Not sure why it does that, but it's not that big of a deal, and I hope when I switch to eSATA, it will fix that as well.

        1 out of 5 stars Not worth buying.......2007-11-27

        I bought this external HD in December 2006. Now in November 2007, the unit clicks and clicks and clicks LOUDLY! My computer recognizes that the hardware is attached but does not show the drive in my computer so I can't even use the stupid thing!

        I didn't buy at Amazon. I wish I didn't buy it at all.

        4 out of 5 stars DO NOT let it tip over..........2007-11-20

        runs like a charm, dies like a soap bubble. ADVICE: tuck those wires neatly out of the way. FRUSTRATION: search for diagnostic utilities.

        5 out of 5 stars eSATA on Vista 32-bit.......2007-11-16

        Worked beautifully. NOTE: you can't install the card, and then connect the drive.

        I bought the seperate SIIG card, and SIIG cable. (This drive only comes with a USB 2.0 cable).

        You have to have everything installed and connected, then fire up your computer, and it needs to be connected to the internet. Vista downloads and installs the drivers automatically. It works awesome! If you don't have internet access on your box, you can get the driver files from the SIIG website.

        SOOOO FAST! Puts FW800 and other interfaces to shame.

        (speed only as fast as the slowest drive in your configuration, of course. Example: if you are copying a file from an internal 1.5Gb/s SATA drive to this drive, it is only as fast as the 1.5...)

        enjoy

        5 out of 5 stars Great product. Just wish it had a FireWire port. .......2007-11-08

        This product is a great hdd. It works well and looks great. Once the computer recognizes the external hdd, it transfers data at speeds that will blow you away. My only complaint is that I wish it had a FireWire port.
