Worked almost flawlessly until the warranty expired. Last successful backup was at about the 1 year mark. Now, it's dead. Same issue as other have reported. Power off and back on, blue light comes on, nothing spins up and the blue light shuts off.
If you plan to backup important data, spend a little more and get a quality NAS device. |
Good While it lasted

We brought two of these for work. Other than some unexplained disconnection issues they both ran fine. However after 1 year one unit stopped working overnight. The fan seemed to seize up which caused the control board to stop. Since we had two units, we pulled the drives out of one and dumped them into the other to pull off the data. That worked so we are sure the controller board died some how...We are going to replace them with something more robust. |
Was great... now bricked after less than 1yr...

Bought 2wks shy of 1yr ago! Seems these are indeed a mixed bag. Noticed today that my drive ain't there - uh oh! Tried ye old switch action: blue LED comes on for 15s, then off. No fan, no other activity. Faint humming like *maybe* a drive is trying to spin up. Sometimes, not even switching back on works. So sad. Wonder why *both* drives are dead? Read a bunch of reviews which advised to stay away, or at least be vigilant and keep backups of VIP data on DVDs etc. Now I'm faced with the quandry: do I trust Fantom to fix & recover? or just 'fix' and thus loose my data? 5 yrs worth of pictues (moved from a previous drive) - hmm, nah! I'll first pull the drives myself to see if I can read them with any linux tools, then if I can't (groan) I'll have to spend the bucks to try recovery - crap! Note however, that it worked great while it lasted (tip: set it to a fixed IP address, otherwise older Windows OSes get confused.) Mileage may vary. |

I have had this unit for just over a year. I had to reformat the drive once to get it working fine again after about 6 months of good behavior just a few reboots here and there. But now it is acting all kinds of funny and they haven't updated the firmware in a long time looks like another company bought them out or something. They did release the source code so unless you want something to hack I would buy something else. |

Bought this in July and it worked fine up until a few months ago. Extremely slow over a gigabit network, randomly times out when trying to browse files from XP/Vista/OSX10.5 machines on the same gigabit network. No firmware upgrades available. Ended up taking out the drives and using them for something else. |

What You Should Know

What is RAID?
RAID is an acronym first defined back in 1987 to describe a redundant array of
inexpensive disks, a technology that allowed computer users to achieve high
levels of storage reliability from low-cost PC hard disk drives, via the
technique of arranging the devices into an array for fail-safe redundancy.
"RAID" is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that
can divide and replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. The different
schemes/architectures are named by the word RAID followed by a number, as in
RAID 0, RAID 1, etc. RAID's various designs involve two key elements: increased
data reliability or increased input/output performance. When multiple physical
disks are set up to use RAID technology, they are said to be in a RAID array.
This array distributes data across multiple disks, but the array is seen by the
computer user and operating system as one single disk. RAID can be set up to
serve several different purposes.
Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the total usable storage
capacity. For instance, a 2-disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity
that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently, and a
RAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one whole disk. Other
types of RAID arrays are arranged so that they are faster to write to and read
from than a single disk.
There are various combinations of these
configurations giving different trade-offs and benefits of protection against
data loss, capacity, and speed. RAID levels 0, 1, and 5 are the most commonly
found, and cover most of the typical requirements.
- RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data
across several disks in a way that gives improved speed at any given instant. If
one disk fails, however, all of the data on the array will be lost, as there is
neither parity nor mirroring.
- RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the
disks, making a 1:1 (1 to 1) ratio real-time backup. The contents of each disk
in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array.
- RAID 3 uses a striped set with
dedicated parity or bit interleaved parity or byte level parity. This
mechanism provides fault tolerance similar to RAID 5. However, because the strip
across the disks is a lot smaller than a file system block, reads and writes to
the array perform like a single drive with a high linear write performance. If
one drive fails, the performance doesn't change.
- RAID 5 (striped disks with parity)
combines three or more disks in a way that protects against data loss of any one
disk. The storage capacity of the array is reduced by the capacity of the one
disk (all disks are of equal size).
- RAID 6 (striped disks with dual parity)
can recover from the loss of two disks.
- RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and
mirroring. ("01" or "0+1" is sometimes distinguished from "10" or "1+0": a
striped set of mirrored subsets and a mirrored set of striped subsets are both
valid, but distinct, configurations.)
