Strengths: Worked right out of the box. Quiet.
Weaknesses: As is normal, 250 GB hard drive loses about 10% to formatting so real useable capacity is less. This is true with all drives of this type.
Summary: I was really impressed with the fact that it worked right out of the box. Nothing to do other than plug it in. While I had seen a couple of reviews indicating that this drive was noisy, it seems very quiet to me.
Good value for the price.

Strengths: Fast, Sleek, Quiet
Weaknesses: None so far
Summary: I had never really heard of this company, and was a bit skeptical when I ordered the drive. However, I have had absolutely no problems with this drive whatsoever. It is fast, looks nice, doesn't take up much room and is very quiet. I have also taken this drive with me out of town, and it packs easy and weathers the travel. I would certainly recommend this drive to anyone.

Strengths: very quiet, fast, easy to use
Weaknesses: can get warm (wouldn't be a problem, except you know it's a hard drive in there), ready light could be a little brighter - drive is so quiet i can rarely tell it's still on
Summary: good, fast drive with plenty of backup/download space. regular external drive (no one-touch backup button, but im not into that kind of thing anyway). backwards compatible with usb1 if necessary. my drive read as a maxtor, a company ive have reasonable success with, so i feel okay with puting information on there.

Strengths: Fast, nice aluminum case and design, quality appearance... no problems so far (3 months of continuous use)... Excellent value for money..
Weaknesses: None that I can think of...
Summary: Fantom seems to be making headway in marketing reliable, well designed drives.. I just bought my third Fantom (500GB MegaDisk) and I'm optimistic it will also be a winner..

Strengths: Ease of Use, Convenience, Sleek Looking, Great Value
Weaknesses: The HD may NOT display the correct amount of memory used.
Summary: Even a dummy or lazy person can use this external hard drive. If one wants great value for ease of use in a external hard drive this is it. The external HD works on Macintosh and on the PC via USB 2.0 or earlier.

 Titanium 250GB External Hard Drive (USB 2.0, 7200 RPM, 2MB) Strengths: Nice Case
Weaknesses: Died after two days of use.
Summary: Worked well for two days, then started to shut down/lose power spontaneously and repeatedly during use or while idling. Probably bad luck, but I'll buy another brand for a replacement.

Strengths: not too hot, fast
Weaknesses: nothing comes to mind
Summary: This drive has worked great for me, I store all my torrent files on there and regularly seed large amounts of files, and this drive has always performed well. I play music a lot too and I store my entire music library on there and it has never lagged. I've had it for 1.5 years and no problems.

Fantom Drives
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: Unreliable
Summary: I purchased a Fantom Titanium 300GB USB External Drive 1/29/06.
Drive crashed 1/20/07. Because I kept fiddling with it, trying to revive it, until 2/5/07 company would not consider repairing it, citing the expiration date of 12 month warranty.
Local techs tell me that bearings are out and boot sector is now missing. I only backed up files 2 0r 3 times in 11 months. It was a piece of junk. Buy Fantom drives at your own risk!!
