Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy to setup with the console, just plug and play. Connected to a functioning usb 3.
The appearance of this drive on my desk just looks like it belongs. Definitely a life saver, and well worth the effort.
Cons
This is a first time purchase of a fantom drive and i'm sorely disappointed. There is no way you will get me to trust a drive that clicks nonstop.
The fuse is intact, but i can't find the 12v level anywhere downstream of the fuse. Won't power on. Tried connecting to sales instead, but no answer and got sent to a voicemail. Fantom tech support is non-existent.
Highlights
Quality
Great product works very well and ive had it for about 4 years now

In spite of some reviewers claiming spotty quality my experience with these drives has been nothing short of perfect
Shipping

Packaging/appearance
This was so simple after i took it out of the box

That said my 8tb fantomdrive doesnt hum at all on any surface
As it stands it seems that even a trifold napkin underneath will make this drive quiet enough to use as long as its not too close to you
This is my 3rd storage device from fantom also own a 1tb and a 2tb

Beware if you want something portable to throw in a laptop bag this isnt the drive you want to get
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The only other thing id say as a slight downfall is the drive due to its speed of the 7200rpm is slightly noisy
