Slow transfer speeds 29 April 2009
By DrTeeth
Amazon Verified Purchase
The transfer speed to this device is very slow at 6MB/s. An older Archos 605 transfers at 20MB/s connected to the same PC. Archos tech support have been their usual helpful selves, promising fixes and not delivering. It's ridiculous selling products that have such capacious disks and not ensuring that they can be filled at max USB2 speeds.

My views are more or less the same as the others. What softened the blow for me was Dixons in LHR duty free are bundled it with the DVR dock and plastic case for free, which makes me wonder if they're clearing stock for a new version to hit the shelves. Has crashed only a couple of times, but holding the on/off button for 10 seconds resets it which is quite convenient.
Although it does the job for me of holding music, photos and movies, vast improvements are really necessary.
The worst is the slow transfer rate, I've spend hours transferring photos & music and still haven't finished. The finish of the surface looks great, but gets filthy with fingerprints easily, just like the old DeLorean. The DVR station should have bee designed better, once conneted the Archos leans to one side.
My advice: wait for the next version.

By K. J. Walker VINE™ VOICE
Whilst this, as most Archos machines are, is flashy, and a great little music and video player, when I purchased it it was marketed as being able to take a usb mobile broadband stick through its mini dock. Immediately I got that piece of kit home, it failed to work. It referred to the broadband stick as a usb mass storage device and refused to install. After updating the firmware, the option of using a usb broadband stick disappeared.
After a e-mail to what is chortlingly called 'customer services', I received a one line reply that this feature is not supported on that device. Further communication seems an exercise in futility.
So, there we have it, misrepresentation and a product not fit for its boasted internet purpose. I would send it back but it does play video exceedingly well so grudgingly, I am keeping it. I know for next time, though, to wait until it is quite clear what lies are being told before I part with what is a substantial slab of money.
