Cavalry Storage CAUM Series 500 GB USB External Hard Drive CAUM37500

I also had one dead in the box. Customer support did not seem surprised by this & had me "reseat" the drive, i.e, take it out & put it back in again, which of course did nothing. Notice how the 5 star reviews praise the "cool" blue light? That may be the best thing you can say about it.

After reading other reviews I got a refund from Costco & bought a WD. So, like others, I never got as far as being able 2 tell how well it worked.

Really great drive, works exactly as described. No problems during my 2-3 months of using it--I never have 2 turn it off as the cooling works extremely well. Quiet & reliable. And the light-up front looks cool!

I ordered the Cavalry CAUM37500. Set it up exactly like the manual instructed. The product didn't work at all. Dead right out of the box. I called Cavalry's tech support & after much troubleshooting, the tech concluded that my drive was a lemon. I wish I could comment on how this drive worked but it was dud & basically a $100 paper weight. The product is also a lot heavier & bulkier than many external drives that are out now.
Buy this at your own risk.

Why pay more 4 the same size hard drive? This is a 500GB hard drive 4 a relatively lesser price. Physically, it is relatively smaller than most other 500GB HD's. It looks nice with the blue lights. Fits easily in the carrying case. Is very quiet & works great. Just plug it in & it's ready 2 go.. no installation is required. It comes with a software 2 backup your internal HD with one click.

The product didn't work right out of the box. It was very difficult 2 reach technical support by phone. Most commonly nobody answered the phone or they didn't return my call when asked 2 leave a message. I tried email & got help. I was told 2 reformat the hard drive but 2 no avail. I became very frustrated with the support & the fact that the product didn't work. Technical support said 2 return it 2 them & they would fix it. At this point,I didn't feel comfortable with the product & elected 2 return it 2 Amazon.I bought a Free Agent Seagate external hard drive & couldn't be happier.
