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.

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.
