About this product
The FANTOM Green Drive GD1000 is a used external hard disk enclosure, supporting 3.5-inch HDDs with a 120GB storage capacity and a 16 MB cache. It features both USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 interfaces, offering compatibility with Mac and PC. The drive operates at a 7200 RPM rotation speed, with a stated read speed of 500MB/s and a transfer rate of 150 Mbps, emphasizing a low noise level and including an indication light.
Our take
This Fantom Green Drive enclosure, though a used item, offers a solid, traditional external storage option. The combination of USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 provides flexibility for older systems, but modern users will find USB 2.0 quite slow. The 7200 RPM rotation speed and 16 MB cache are good for an HDD, offering respectable performance for its era. The '500MB/s Read Speed' seems high for a USB 2.0 HDD setup, likely referring to the internal drive's potential rather than the external interface limit. It's a bulky 3.5-inch form factor, so portability is limited compared to smaller drives.
