Title: died after 11 months of home use
Review: I liked my Big Disk Exterme with its three interfaces (USB 2.0, Firewire 400 & 800) for its speed. I was slightly annoyed by the constant noise it generated when running. After a few minutes of inactivity, the drive spins down. When idle, it needs about 15 seconds to spin up again.After 11 months of light home use, one of both disks inside (Hitachi Deskstar HDT725050VLAT80) stopped spinning up, rendering the device useless.If you ever notice an interrupt in its spin-up sound, do not switch it off. Connect another hard disk and copy over as much as possible. After I first noticed the irregular spin-up sound, the drive died within three days.
Is the review positive or negative?
