G-Force GreenDrive line of external USB and eSATA disk drives feature the latest advances in power saving technology and ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) compliant materials and process. The G-Force Green Drive gives the consumer the ability to minimize his or her carbon footprint without sacrificing performance. The G-Force GreenDrive USB 2.0 Hard Drive family feature sturdy aluminum casing to provide maximum durability, fanless design for silent operation, and could be placed horizontally or stand vertically to allow maximum deskspace. Fantom Drives GreenDrives yield average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over competitors' drives while maintaining solid performance. That power savings equates to reducing CO2 emission by up to 60 kilograms per drive per year - the equivalent of taking your car off the road for 14 days each year.

5 of 5 Solid unit Sunday, December 21, 2008
Eric from Mechanicsburg, PA  

Good solid unit thus far. Does not automatically power off when PC shuts down but that's no big deal.

5 of 5 Great Wednesday, December 03, 2008
Kevin Liang from Gaithersburg, Maryland  
I received this drive Wednesday after ordering it the past friday. It was free shipping and it shipped all the way from california which is a very far distance. The 20 dollar rebate and 5% buy.com promotion code equaled a total cost of around 65 dollars for the drive which is very cheap compared to other drives. This drive is very sleek and stylish except the edges seem a little sharp so you might scrape yourself accidently. It also runs very smoothly but transfer slow through usb. It also does not come with the esata cable so you have to buy it separately. It's also formatted in FAT32 format which means its same format as a flashdrive. One limitation about this format is that it the max a single a file can be is 4gb. I am very satisfied with this purchase

5 of 5 works fine good price Monday, December 01, 2008
A Customer from nyc  
The drive arrived quickly and was easy to install. The formatting took over an hour but that's because my computer is old and slow. It seems to be working fine -- I can't wait to put all my photos on it. I am happy with it and relieved to have a backup. Note that it is heavy, which would not be great if you plan to carry it around or travel with it.

5 of 5 Lots of Space, Just Plug In and Use Monday, November 17, 2008
babbo from Madison, WI  
Formatted to work on both platforms, you can also format specifically for Mac or IBM machines. All I did was plug into my USB port & it was ready to go... Good drive.
