Do the pictures listed match the actual product? I'm asking because the pictures are showing the max capacity supported is 2 TB and made in Taiwan, just want to make sure what am i actually getting before I place my order.

The picture in the advertisement is the actual product. The ESDCFII is an adapter that holds the smaller SD card. They are made to fit the CF Type II slot in digital cameras. I have used the product with SD cards up to 64 GIGS and have not experienced any problems.

I have an earlier generation version of this and it works with 500 and 750gb drives but not a 2TB drive, so there do seem to be potential capacity issues. The seller should address this in the product specs - it's a glaring omission.

Buyer, I can't speak for the other vendors but we list ours as New Bulk / New Pull which is the same thing. We pulled these out of a server that we needed to put 300GB drives into so that is why we list ours this way.. In addition, We also offer a 1 YEAR WARRANTY which most other vendors will not even come close to .. Please let us know and thanks a lot All Computer Parts Customer Service.

It's a typo on Amazon. The drive is SATA III. Hardly any drive are SATA III anymore. Click here -&gt; http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1049&language=1

nope, your drive should be fine. These used to be shown as being OEM (NOT Retail packaging) shipped drives, but I don't see that now. So, if you were expecting a retail box, then return it; otherwise there are no differences.

A lot of hard drives are made in Thailand until a flood a few years ago forcing production to move to China. Some drives are made in Japan and korea but you will have to search out which is which. Seagate and Western digital have some of their production in the states (media) but all final assembly is in Asia.

It's not Toshiba. It's an odd ball. In Windows (all current versions) & Linux, it states in hardware properties that it's an Innostor Ext. HDD USB Device. Innostor is primarily a Taiwan chipset & thumb drive manufacturer. They are not well known or popular for hard drives. I would suspect they just made the chips & electronic circuitry inside, but the actual spinning drive is the cheapest generic Chinese drive they could find.

It shows up as two physical drives 0 and 1 at 1 TB ea, further partitioned into 500 GB ea C-D-E-F. Haven't pulled it apart to see if in fact they are separate drives. 100% screaming machine but the drives are probably 75% screaming.

That photo threw me off too. I've never seen an open hard drive like how it is pictured, with the title saying open box I was in full confusion mode. They really need a photo of the actual product, not a cutaway view showing us the internals. The actual product is like a regular hard drive, this picture here is just to show off the internals and not realistic to what will ship to you. It's basically a cutaway view to let you see the insides of the drive.

I know this is an old thread but if you're still looking...I bought a 3 TB for $169 at a big box store with a yellow logo.Probably not much help if you're not in the US but Amazon has it for $149 - USB 3 too! Very fast transfers.Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 3 TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive STAC3000102

The product was assembled in Philippines but the hard disk was made in either Philippines or China. This is all that is written on this hard drive.

I don't know the actual manufacturer and I don't know how to determine that without removing the drive from the case. I do know that there has been a change in the disc description. I have a number of older drives and they are identified as "Fantom HDD Media". However, the two newest ones I got are identified as "JMicron Generic Media". That may mean nothing, but I am concerned about who makes the drives now. I sent in a request to Fantom to find out what this change means but I never got a response. Manufacturers like OWC (MacSales) are very open about the exact drives that are installed. Just for the record, I have had three hard drives crash and are totally useless - two from OWC, one from Buffalo. So, far I have had no problems with the Fantom drives but I have owned them for much less time. Unfortunately, hard drives do not last forever. Just to be sure, you need more than one backup.

Your English is great! It is a 500GB I have a 1TB external I use with it too. Never came close to filling up the built in hard drive. Hope that helps.

Thanks - trying to find out before purchasing, but I found some posts on Newegg that indicate they are SATA (maybe they changed from IDE to SATA and this is why it isn't in the specs).

Sorry for the late reply - I have been travelling. The drive was described as a Seagate ST33000650NS. The supplier phoned and asked if it was OK to provide an HP branded equivalent MB33000EBKAB. I accepted. The part arrived - was brand new. The label had BOTH part numbers on it - so I was happy. If you check the Seagate site you will find that the drive is an ES.2 not an ES.3. Main difference is the amount of cache. ES.2 has 64MB and ES.3 has 128MB. The description was accurate, the title should not have referenced ES3. I am happy anyway - great drive.
