Go Green with Fantom's GreenDrive!

G-Force GreenDrive line of external USB and eSATA disk drives feature the latest advances in power saving technology and ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) compliant materials and process. The G-Force Green Drive gives the consumer the ability to minimize his or her carbon footprint without sacrificing performance. The G-Force GreenDrive USB 2.0 Hard Drive family feature sturdy aluminum casing to provide maximum durability, fanless design for silent operation, and could be placed horizontally or stand vertically to allow maximum deskspace. Fantom Drives GreenDrives yield average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over competitors' drives while maintaining solid performance. That power savings equates to reducing CO2 emission by up to 60 kilograms per drive per year - the equivalent of taking your car off the road for 14 days each year.

5 of 5 Lots of Space, Just Plug In and Use Monday, November 17, 2008
babbo from Madison, WI  

Formatted to work on both platforms, you can also format specifically for Mac or IBM machines. All I did was plug into my USB port & it was ready to go... Good drive.

5 of 5 Fine drive Friday, October 31, 2008
A Customer from Wayland, MA  
Easy to install and use, and fast - no problems. Had to reformat to NTFS since it comes with FAT32 format - I discovered that when my backup program asked for a second filename after filling up a 4GB file, but that was easy to address. Recommended.

5 of 5 Fantom 500GB Green drive Thursday, October 30, 2008
Jeff from Millersville, PA  
I am very impressed with my first external hard drive. A great value for the money. I gave it a four on performance because it does take a while to transfer information from the computer, but maybe that's just because of the USB instead of the eSATA. It took about 5 hours to re-format into NTFS, so maybe you'll want to leave it to do that over night. I had to re-format from FAT32 to NTFS because the back up software on my computer (Vista Ultimate 64-bit) wouldn't back anything up unless it was in NTFS. But don't worry, reformatting is very easy, it tells you how to do it in the booklet. So the longest I had it on was during that reformatting (like I said, five, six hours) and the heat didn't worry me at all. I have tried it any longer than five hours yet, but I would imagine there wouldn't be any problem. For this price, you can't lose!
