Cavalry Storage CADB-U32 Series 1 TB USB 2-bay JBOD Personal Disk Array CADB001U32

Cavalry Storage CADB-U32 Series 1 TB USB 2-bay JBOD Personal Disk Array CADB001U32 Review

I purchased the Calvary Storage CADB for my husband as a Christmas present. This 1 TB unit is actually 2 - 500gb drives, which he actually prefers for backup purposes. He stated that this device is a fast and reliable unit, especially given it's small size. He also likes that this storage device runs quiet, and the fact that it didn't overheat when he left it on all night.

My only dissapointment is that I received this unit from Amazon.com in a non-retail package and it didn't come with instructions nor a setup CD. My husband had to go online to download drivers and find how to configure the device. Amazon.com should make sure that the buyers they use, are not trying to pass off 2nd hand or previously returned items as genuine new products.

This is the first time that I received an item from Amazon.com without everything in the box. I've ordered from Amazon.com for years and will most likely continue to use them.

Works but noisy - G. Nasta - CL, IL
Was quiet at first but after two weeks began to make a lot of noise on startup. Still works but gives one pause as to how long it is going to hang in there.



Sturdy, silent and reliable - Jose Leal - California, United States
If you can never get enough space to store your HiDef movies (about 40 Gb each), software, music collections, etc, a good idea is to get one or more of these sturdy external units, which in my experience are very silent and hassle free. You can even stream media from the external hard drive, with no loss of audio or picture quality; data transfer is very reliable too. I tried other brand names and they get much hotter and are at least twice as noisy. In few words: a great value for your money.



It just works... - M. Grace - Cleveland, OH USA
Yeah compared to my CPU fan, this isn't loud at all. It's plug and play, had it out of the box and stuff copying to it within minutes. So far so good!
