Consumer review (newegg.com)

Let down

Despite of all the cons I mentioned, I was willing to commit to this multimedia device because I had already bought it. However after about 2 weeks of semi-decent operation, it failed to display anything on the TV. USB connectivity still was functional...

1. Good price, SATA/PATA interface on same board. 2. Decent amount of formats supported. 3. Will read any directory structure. 4. Batteries included with remote

1. PAL out of the box. (This is a total no-no, MassCool, even if you have pictures on how to get around this on your poorly written support site.) 2. Boot/Startup time is anywhere from 90 seconds to 5 minutes. 3. Hardware is poorly designed, board with...

Just OK

I really love the idea of this type of product. There are lots out there, but this was in my price range and I liked the audio outs it provides. Plays files from a flash drive connected to USB, which is nice, but I was hoping I could transfer files...

Does what it says it does, pretty much

After owning a week, I returned to Newegg for a refund , minus the restocking fee ; 1. As a previous reviewer stated, it comes setup in PAL. To get to NTSC you have to try and figure out where the 'cursor' is at on the screen while its rolling. Once...

Not bad

I am looking forward to seeing more great products from Masscool.

Easy install/connection and no driver needed. Good build quality. I can put all my photos on it and the illustration shows exactly what I expected it. Also it can play all my MP3...everything in the box. I love it and stronger recommend it

none so far

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Don't do it!

There are a LOT of better hard drive players out there. I feel that the hard drive media player is the best invention in a long time. I suggest the Inoi media player or the Vizo Milano(IDE only). They both are awsome and do EVERYTHING they claim to.

Standard AV connections, SD card slot, and a USB input

The unit has everything(except HDMI) to connect it to the TV, but once you get it connected, and turn it on you will find that it doesn't work as advertised. It would only play some files it said it would... I have another similar player and it played...

Not so bad.

I bought this unit for the price value factor and I believe I got my monies worth.

My first ever review, please overlook mistakes ; I would like to address some items from previous reviews ; My unit has no trouble reading USB flash drives or my hp external hard drive. As far as the reported formatting problem goes, you must do the...

1. Painted labels on back panel come off very easy. Some clear coat will fix this ; 2. Output is slightly dark the Samsung HDTV had a problem with it but the JVC HDTV and Sharp HDTV did not ; 3. Drive cage should screw into metal post not plastic

Wouldn't buy it again.

Keep looking or you will be disappointed.

Nice case

WOW, this was such a disappointment. First off be sure you format the hdd before you put it in the case... Also you can't format it while it's in there, you have to have another external case sitting around to do this with ; The GUI, the functions,...

OK, Problem solved

The drive says "HDD Type: IDE,SATA I,II HDD only, Up to 750G or more; " I was a bit wary of this. I don't recall anything ever saying it's compatible with anything over a certain type. Always backwards compatible, never future compatible. However, I...

Very sharp looking ; Many features

OK, I gave a poor review of this previously. I'm up to a 5-star now. I previously formatted this drive, put it in the device, then formatted it again. Copied files to it and couldn't see them. As tech supports suggestion, I formatted again. This time,...

Works as External HDD Case

I rolled the dice...

Great looking device. Has many features (inputs/outputs)

Documentation is horrible. The primary purpose of the product was to play files from the device through A/V connections, to the TV. As an external HDD this product works fine from USB 2.0. After awhile trying to get the screen from a rolling PAL to an...
