Fast and quiet External Drive,
I recently purchased this drive for use as photographic image back-up storage, as well as a data back-up for my start-up drive. I removed the supplied “BounceBack Express” backup software since I already have the excellent “SuperDuper” application running on my Mac. The Verbatim 1 TB drive I received (Jan. 2009) actually contains a WDC WD-10EA 7200 rpm drive. I was able to easily partition it into 700GB and 232 GB partitions.
The drive is enclosed in a nice aluminum box with a polished black plastic front panel. The case does have a small fan that is inaudible in operation. There is only the one green LED pilot lamp and no “disk activity indicator”. I like to know when my drives are working so I deducted (1) star for the lack of any kind of a activity indicator. There is one USB 2.0 port and the drive comes with a short (24 inch) USB cable. There is a rear panel on-off push-button switch which is flush with the back panel so is hard to spot if it’s dark. A small “wall-wart” power supply is provided.
The drive is very quiet with only a little disk “head-seek” rattle when transferring large files.
The drive is rated at “up-to” 480 Mb/sec. transfer rates. I was able to achieve a write transfer rate of about 91 to 97 Mb/sec reading from my iMac’s internal 230GB drive which was probably the limiting factor. As a fast, basic USB 1TB external drive, this seems to be a pretty good deal. It comes with everything you need, but nothing you don’t need and has a 3-year warrantee.
Works for me!

Reliable, Quiet, Meets Expectations!,
This is an amazing External Hard drive. I have owned it now for a little over 3 months (which I think is how long one should wait before writing a review). And have had no problems.
Whoever said they had to restart it for it to be recognized after windows reboots, I haven’t had any issues like that, although I am using Windows XP.
I even accidentally spilled liquid directly onto it and it continues to work perfectly.
I only used Western Digital for large external storage before this, and Verbatim has impressed me with this model for sure.
