 Overheats within one minute of power on! January 25, 2010
Richard Shields (New York)
The day I had received this hard drive I turned it on, plunged it into my computer and transferred over some data. Literally within a minute of being turned on this thing begins to overheat. When I mean overheat I mean I couldn't touch it for more than a second or two without it burning my hand. It literally felt like I was touching a hot frying pan. I have a desk fan blowing onto it ask I type this to keep the temperature down. It works but I'm questioning the lifespan of the hard drive. I'm most likely going to have to struggle with Amazon to return this product (I'm going to assume it's defective as not many other reviewers commented on this heat issue).
 Great drive, crappy usb port December 9, 2009
J. Dryden
I've had this thing for over a year, and it works...but only if the usb cord is pulled just so. Apparently the usb port on the hard drive is crooked, so you have to shove a splint in between the power and the usb to even get the computer to recognize it. It was a good price, but only because of the cheap connections, I guess. I would definitely pay a little more for the more expensive brand. I'm staying away from Cavalry now, since I have to buy a new one, which sucks because the drive still works. I'm just tired of screwing with it.
13 Months Then DEAD August 3, 2009
David G. Pelowitz (Los Alamos, NM USA)
If you plan to use the drive as a backup, DON'T. It has been running fine for about a year now and then all of a sudden it started having problems... When turned on it would show up (USB) for an instant then go away and would repeat this for possibly 5 minutes. Eventually it would calm down and either be available or not until I power cycled it and the whole thing would start over again. The point of this is at under a hundred bucks you get what you pay for. It was a good backup until about a week ago. If you plan on using the drive as a "working" drive and you don't mind a failure (e.g. you've got everything on it backed-up) then caveat emptor!

I've been using this for over a year on my old pc and now my new one. On the old Dell 8400 it was not automatically recognized - Had to manually select it via Disk Management but I think that was because the pc was old as I don't have to do that with the new one. It's quiet and so far I have not had any problems with it at all.
Do not buy this drive!!! June 19, 2009

Do not buy this drive and beware of any Cavalry drive. Mine crashed after warranty was up and Bason Computer will not even repair it for a charge. In a way they do you a favor, the selection of brand for your replacement drive becomes easier.Cavalry Storage CAXM Series 500 GB USB / eSATA External Hard Drive CAXM37500 - Includes eSATA Kit
