Seagate BlackArmor PS 110 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST905003BPA1E1-RK Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a 320GB Maxtor BlackArmor drive and have loved it--fast, easy to use, and quite reliable.

When, two weeks later, I tried to buy a second drive of the same sort, the 320GB was no longer available, but CNET liked this one so I bought it thinking it was the "new" BlackArmor drive.

It turns out that this drive is only usable as a backup drive--it doesn't respond to the Maxtor BlackArmor software and doesn't seem to offer any kind of hardware encryption other than for the secure backup.

Interestingly, the Seagate BlackArmor drive also has a Maxtor trademark on it.

So, upshot, I'm confused and annoyed because I leapt to the conclusion that two drives of the "BlackArmor (TM)" sort would be operationally similar, but they're about as much alike as a barn swallow and a chili dog.

I'm sure this drive is fine, but make sure you know what you're getting.
