Fantom GreenDrive II
$89.00
Released November, 2009
The Pros:Amazing value, one of the best dollars per gigabyte hard drives out there. 2-year warranty is great. When drive isn't under load it is dead silent.
The Cons:No eSATA cable included in the box. Open grill design exposes a lot of noise when drive is under load.
Fantom's GreenDrive II is a USB 2.0 external hard drive whose main feature is its efficiency and environmentally friendly operation. It has no lead and complies with the Reduction of Hazardous Substances Directive, does not use a fan, and uses about 4 or 5 fewer Watts during operation than typical external drives.

The drive still boasts functionality, with transfer rates of 300MB/s through an eSATA port, up to 1TB capacity, and a small form factor. This drive is easy to setup and is compatible with PC or Mac platforms. The case is made of durable aluminum and the drive is backed by a two-year manufacturer warranty. The GreenDrive II is essentially the same as the original GreenDrive, except for the included NTI 4 software with "Ninja" automatic backup for both PC and Mac.
