Our take
Consider the GFP2000EU3 when you want a 2TB external HDD with USB 3.0 and eSATA and can keep it near an outlet. Its exact model code matters: Fantom's similarly named GF3B2000U64 is a separate USB-focused configuration. Check the seller's complete code, current package and power supply, and the computer's actual ports before relying on the fit.
A fixed desk or workstation archive where 2TB nominal capacity, USB/eSATA host options, and access to an outlet fit the routine.
A no-outlet or USB-bus-powered routine, a buyer who needs a documented FireWire or Thunderbolt 2 path, RAID, console preparation, direct-TV playback, a measured transfer result, or a current Amazon offer proven by historical ASIN B09P9SNNX5.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The exact GFP2000EU3 code is identified as a black 2TB external HDD with USB 3.0 and eSATA.
- DigiKey lists a 110/220V supply, making the outlet requirement visible before choosing a location.
- The manufacturer sheet describes the GForce 3 aluminum enclosure as fan-free and shows GFP2000EU3 as the 2TB USB plus eSATA variant.
What to weigh up
- The listed supply voltage means this is not a confirmed USB-bus-powered drive for a laptop bag or other no-outlet use.
- The saved sources do not confirm the contents, condition, cable, or matching supply in a present seller's package.
- Current operating-system support, measured transfer performance, warranty eligibility, and the historical Amazon ASIN mapping remain unverified.
The key details
| Model covered | GFP2000EU3; black; USB 3.0 and eSATA |
|---|---|
| Advertised capacity | 2TB nominal capacity; formatted usable space is lower |
| Drive configuration | External HDD rated at 7200 rpm; spindle speed is not a measured transfer rate |
| Host connection | USB 3.0 and eSATA; the manufacturer family sheet also lists USB 2.0 backward compatibility |

What the features mean for you
Does the 2TB capacity suit the archive you have in mind?
Office Depot identifies the GFP2000EU3 as a 2TB external hard drive, and the manufacturer model table lists GFP2000EU3 in the 2TB GForce 3 Pro row. That nominal capacity gives a home or office archive room for a larger collection than the 160GB and 500GB legacy choices in this comparison, while staying a single-disk HDD rather than an SSD or RAID array. Actual formatted space will be lower than the headline capacity, and no saved source estimates your library size or usable filesystem space. If you need portable storage away from an outlet, capacity alone is not enough to make this model the right fit. ([Office Depot exact-model listing](https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/511003/Fantom-Drives-2TB-External-Hard-Drive/), lines 947–967 and 972–988; [Fantom Drives manufacturer sheet](https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/iKey%2CLtd%20PDF%27s/GForce_Pro.pdf), page 3 lines 86–91, checked 2026-10-12.)
Will USB 3.0 or eSATA connect to your computer?
The exact-model Office Depot page lists USB 3.0 and eSATA, and DigiKey repeats those interfaces for manufacturer number GFP2000EU3. The GForce 3 Pro sheet separately lists GFP2000EU3 in its USB plus eSATA model column and documents backward compatibility with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 for the family. That gives a buyer two connection options when the computer has the matching port and cable. It does not mean every laptop has eSATA, and a port shape or adapter alone is not proof of a compatible setup. The interface descriptions also do not promise a copy time or current operating-system support; check the host, cable, and format requirements before using the drive for a time-sensitive task. ([Office Depot](https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/511003/Fantom-Drives-2TB-External-Hard-Drive/), lines 962–965; [DigiKey](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/micronet/GFP2000EU3/13544774), lines 1016–1038; [Fantom Drives sheet](https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/iKey%2CLtd%20PDF%27s/GForce_Pro.pdf), page 2 lines 58–64 and page 3 lines 86–91, checked 2026-10-12.)
What does the 7200 rpm figure tell you?
Both the exact-model listing and DigiKey's manufacturer-number page identify a 7200 rpm drive. That is the disk's rotational specification, not a tested file-copy rate and not evidence that this old HDD will outperform every lower-rpm drive in a real backup. Host generation, interface, cable, file sizes, the condition of an individual unit, and the task all affect use. The manufacturer sheet's table gives family-level read/write figures, but those numbers are not presented here as a result measured on this model or a customer's computer. Choose GFP2000EU3 for its documented capacity and connection combination, then keep a separate backup and test an older drive with noncritical files before entrusting it with the only copy. ([Office Depot](https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/511003/Fantom-Drives-2TB-External-Hard-Drive/), lines 962–965; [DigiKey](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/micronet/GFP2000EU3/13544774), lines 1016–1038, checked 2026-10-12.)
Does the power arrangement fit your desk?
DigiKey lists 110V and 220V supply voltage for this manufacturer number. That means the model is tied to an external AC supply and needs an outlet; it does not meet a must-have USB-bus-power or no-outlet request. Office Depot calls the drive compact, but that does not remove the power requirement. The saved sources do not confirm whether a particular seller includes the correct power unit, cable, or other original accessories today, so check the full package and return terms on the specific offer. If you move files between locations without access to mains power, a verified bus-powered portable drive serves a different routine even if it offers less capacity. ([DigiKey exact manufacturer-number page](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/micronet/GFP2000EU3/13544774), lines 1030–1038 and 1093–1099, checked 2026-10-12.)
What does the aluminum, fan-free case change?
Fantom's GForce 3 sheet describes a sturdy aluminum enclosure that also acts as a heat sink, says the design does not need a fan, and shows a stand for horizontal or vertical placement. Those are useful layout facts for a fixed workstation: the stand can help position the enclosure, and no case fan means one fewer cooling fan in the setup. They do not establish that the hard disk itself is silent, that the case remains cool under every workload, or that it has a drop or water-protection rating. The saved manufacturer material gives no quantified noise, temperature, or durability test for an individual drive. Treat the case description as a design feature, not a ruggedness promise. ([Fantom Drives GForce 3 Pro manufacturer sheet](https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/iKey%2CLtd%20PDF%27s/GForce_Pro.pdf), page 1 lines 1–17 and page 1 lines 29–48, checked 2026-10-12.)
Will its original format and compatibility notes work today?
The GForce 3 Pro sheet says the family ships formatted for Windows in NTFS and can be reformatted on a Mac to HFS+ or APFS. Formatting can affect data already on a disk, so copy important files elsewhere before changing it. The sheet's Windows 7-or-newer and Mac OS X wording and Office Depot's older operating-system fields are product-era information; they do not verify support for a current computer, backup utility, or update. The broad family page also mentions gaming systems, but the saved exact-model evidence does not verify a current console setup for GFP2000EU3. Check the operating system and file format you intend to use rather than assuming a historical compatibility statement remains current. ([Fantom Drives manufacturer sheet](https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/iKey%2CLtd%20PDF%27s/GForce_Pro.pdf), page 2 lines 58–75; [Office Depot listing](https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/511003/Fantom-Drives-2TB-External-Hard-Drive/), lines 981–985, checked 2026-10-12.)
How do you separate it from Fantom's other 2TB model?
Fantom also has a separately documented GF3B2000U64 2TB Gforce/3 configuration in this comparison. The saved exact-model listing for GF3B2000U64 identifies USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 compatibility but does not document eSATA for that code. GFP2000EU3 is the model-table entry with USB plus eSATA. Similar names and matching capacity do not make them interchangeable, especially if a workstation depends on eSATA. Check the full code printed on the current offer and the physical unit, and do not assume the historic Amazon reference B09P9SNNX5 identifies today's exact variant. The tagged search is a model search, not proof of an exact current listing. ([Fantom Drives sheet](https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/iKey%2CLtd%20PDF%27s/GForce_Pro.pdf), page 3 lines 86–91; [Office Depot exact-model listing](https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/511003/Fantom-Drives-2TB-External-Hard-Drive/), lines 972–988, checked 2026-10-12.)
What else to compare
Before you buy
Does GFP2000EU3 have eSATA?
Yes. Office Depot and DigiKey identify eSATA and USB 3.0 for the exact manufacturer number. Confirm that your computer has a compatible eSATA port and cable.
Can I use it with a USB 2.0 host?
Fantom's GForce 3 Pro family sheet says it is backward compatible with USB 2.0. That is a connection-compatibility statement, not a measured transfer rate or current host-support guarantee.
Does the 110/220V supply mean it can run without an outlet?
No. The saved manufacturer-number source lists mains supply voltages, so this profile requires external power. A present seller's included supply and package still need checking.
Is 7200 rpm a measured copy speed?
No. It describes the drive's rotational rate; no saved source reports a measured file-copy result for your host, cable, or workload.
Does historical ASIN B09P9SNNX5 identify a current exact offer?
That mapping is not verified. Use the tagged GFP2000EU3 model search and compare the exact code, condition, supply, cable, and seller package.
Where can I check the current price?
Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.
