5 Reviews for Freecom Mobile 80GB 2.5" Hard Drive USB-2, silver
Not so mobile - 22 Feb 2008

This drive will not work on USB power alone with my Dell Latitude laptop. The blue 80Gb logo is displayed on the front panel but the drive does not spin up, it just makes a constant clicking sound. I have tried it on the laptops of several friends with the same results.
I like this drive and it works very well with an external power supply or on USB power alone when plugged into a desktop but not on any laptop I have tried.
The whole point of buying it was so that I could use it mobile i.e. where I didn't have mains power.
Just a bit of hassle... - 24 Dec 2007

I've had this product about 8 months and it has recently developed a fault whereby the connection point within the casing came loose so I was unable to access my data. It has been a bit of a nightmare to fix the problem though. I've made numerous phone calls to get information on how to fix the problem, or to gain authorisation to open the faulty drive.
I have no problem with the drive (aside from it breaking...) but the process to get the problem fixed has been drawn out and tedious, whilst the customer service has been pretty poor.
All in all though, probably a good price for what you're getting - just pray it doesn't break!

After 4 back ups it gave up the ghost making a soft clicking noise, refusing to identify files and halting back up process. Prior to this I found the bundled back up software not particularly helpful as the file extensions it supported did not show some of the newer audio file versions, purely giving a generic list which effectively meant the only thing it picked up was excel and word together with pictures. 2* given 'cos I awarded half a star for every time it worked! When it was working the speed of backing up meant I needed a shave by the time it finished - this will teach me for being cheap!

This product does exactly what it says on the tin.
It looks good. It is small, tough and silent.
My PC (XP Home) recognized it instantly, and I was immediately able to back up my data.
Why not 5 stars? I am unable to get any of the enclosed software to work, but probably do not need it anyway.
The drive is worth buying, however, in its own right.
Good Drive - Software not Vista Compatible - 30 Apr 2007

If I were to rate the hard drive I would give it 5 stars, but beware; if you are looking to buy this for the backup software aswell, it does not work with Vista and after an exchange of numerous e-mails with Freecom they have stated that they do not have any plans to provide a 'Vista compatible' version of the Personal Media Suite, Strange you might think but that is their statement and there is nothing on their website to suggest either way, I have returned a recently a 160Gb mobile hard drive because I had bought it with the specific intention of using it with the software and I can confirm it will not work with Vista
