5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet, fault-free, better than most, July 1, 2009

This review is from: Cavalry Storage CADA-U32A Series 2 TB USB 2-bay RAID Personal Disk Array CADA002U32A (Personal Computers)
I have tried many external hard drives as extra storage for massive quantities of photographs (professional photographer) and web-based projects including videos, documents, etc. This particular Cavalry 2TB external hard drive is flawless, instantaneously recognized and operable as plug-n-play, and easily modified for various JBOD and RAID formats. Far, Far, Far Better than the Western Digital My Book series (noisy, disc failures, awkward installations, and system lockups) and Iomega (lower quality housing, higher prices for lower storage capacity, two of six disc failures).

Do not hesitate on this CADA-U32A series . . . Excellent case quality, ease of use, high storage/lower cost, plug-n-play, silent, easily modifiable settings via jumpers.

This review is from: Cavalry Storage CADA-U32A Series 2 TB USB 2-bay RAID Personal Disk Array CADA002U32A (Personal Computers)
I received this drive in late January 2010. I connected the power and the USB cable. My computer running Windows XP SP3 instantly recognized the drive. The drive has operated flawlessly for 4 months. It is quiet and fast. The people who wrote the two-star reviews must have gotten bad drives. I have purchased 10 1 TB non-RAID drives over the past 18 months. The failure rate on these Seagate and Iomega drives was so high that I decided that RAID was the only way to go. Reviewers have coined the phrase "click of death" to describe the clicking sound that develops before a drive fails. Although the sound is very irritating because it foretells a major headache trying to get warranty repair on the drive, it at least warns you before a total crash occurs and all data are loss.

It is a bitter pill that one must spend $220 for 1 TB of backup when a 1 TB non-Raid drive can be purchased for $90 on sale. The question becomes "How much are your data and time worth?". I...Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not plug-n-play with Windows XP, September 5, 2009

This review is from: Cavalry Storage CADA-U32A Series 2 TB USB 2-bay RAID Personal Disk Array CADA002U32A (Personal Computers)
Be warned that this drive is definitely not plug-n-play with Windows XP. It did come configured for 1TB RAID-1, but Windows XP (two different computers) would not recognize it. What's wrong is that it is not partitioned for Windows, so the customer needs to initialize one or more NTFS partitions. Tools for that are available in Windows, but definitely not recommended for the casual user. Note also that the user manual suffers from severe translation problems, so if you will need to reconfigure the RAID level, and have never done this before, good luck. Now that I've done the factory's work for them, the gear does seem to work properly and is fairly quiet.
