Our take
Consider the GF3B2000U64 when you want a 2TB Fantom desktop HDD, have room and suitable power at the desk, and use a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 host. Choose a documented portable, bus-powered model if the drive must travel or work without an outlet. Verify the exact model code, adapter, cable, seller condition, and return terms.
A fixed desk archive or backup where 2TB nominal capacity and a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 host path fit and an outlet is available.
Buyers who require USB bus power or no-outlet use, a portable form, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA, RAID, console compatibility, direct-TV playback, a verified current offer tied to historical ASIN B0051MQM0E, or a documented measured transfer rate.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The exact-model listing identifies a 2TB capacity, a 3.5-inch desktop HDD, and USB 3.0 with USB 2.0 compatibility.
- The listing names a stand, power supply, USB 3.0 cable, and manual in the package.
- A black aluminum enclosure and fan-free design are documented.
What to weigh up
- The desktop power arrangement does not suit a hard requirement for USB bus power or operation away from an outlet.
- The current seller may not include the original power supply, cable, or stand, so the present offer needs checking.
- Current host and operating-system support, measured performance, warranty eligibility, and exact Amazon mapping remain unknown.

What the features mean for you
Is a 2TB drive for a fixed desk setup a fit?
The Gforce/3 GF3B2000U64 is a 2TB desktop external hard drive in a 3.5-inch format. It suits a setup where the drive can stay beside a computer and nominal capacity is more useful than a compact carry-around case. Newegg lists a stand and power supply with the drive, reinforcing its desk-oriented role. The 2TB figure is nominal capacity; the saved source does not report usable space after formatting or document a tested backup workload. If the drive needs to travel with a laptop or work away from an outlet, compare it with a product whose exact model is documented as portable and bus-powered. ([Newegg exact-model listing](https://www.newegg.com/black-fantom-drives-gforce-3-2tb/p/N82E16822510019), lines 60–68 and 91–110, checked 2026-10-11.)
Will USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 suit the host?
The exact-model listing specifies USB 3.0 and says the drive is compatible with USB 2.0. That gives it a documented path for either host generation, subject to a compatible working cable and port. It does not establish how quickly this unit will copy files on a particular computer, and the page's general bandwidth claims are not a measured result for this model. Choose it for the documented connection fit; do not use the interface label as a promise of a particular backup time. The reviewed record does not document FireWire, eSATA, or Thunderbolt for this code. ([Newegg exact-model listing](https://www.newegg.com/black-fantom-drives-gforce-3-2tb/p/N82E16822510019), lines 60–68 and 91–110, checked 2026-10-11.)
What does the aluminum, fan-free enclosure change?
Newegg describes a black aluminum enclosure and a fan-free design. Those details distinguish this desktop product from smaller plastic portable drives, and a design without a case fan avoids adding that particular moving part. They do not prove that the hard disk itself is silent, that the enclosure stays cool under every workload, or that it is rugged enough for travel. No saved source gives a drop rating, waterproof rating, measured noise level, or thermal test. Treat the case as a stationary desktop enclosure and leave durability claims open. ([Newegg exact-model listing](https://www.newegg.com/black-fantom-drives-gforce-3-2tb/p/N82E16822510019), lines 60–68, checked 2026-10-11.)
Can you rely on the listed power supply and parts?
The listing names a power supply, USB 3.0 cable, stand, and user manual in the package. The saved exact-model record classifies this as a powered desktop drive, so it does not receive credit for a must-have USB-bus-powered setup or for use where no outlet is available. A present-day used or renewed seller may not include the original supply, cable, or stand; check the actual offer and return terms before relying on the listed contents. Current warranty eligibility and exact supply requirements for a particular unit are not established here. ([Newegg exact-model listing](https://www.newegg.com/black-fantom-drives-gforce-3-2tb/p/N82E16822510019), lines 91–110, checked 2026-10-11.)
How do you confirm the exact Fantom configuration?
Fantom used several G-Force names for different 2TB configurations. This review is for GF3B2000U64, whose exact listing documents USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 compatibility. The separately verified GFP2000EU3 has a different code and source-backed eSATA/USB configuration. Similar capacity and family wording do not make those retail configurations interchangeable. Check the model code on the seller's offer or drive label, especially if eSATA matters. The historical ASIN B0051MQM0E is not a verified current match; use the tagged exact-model search and inspect the offer details. ([Newegg exact-model listing](https://www.newegg.com/black-fantom-drives-gforce-3-2tb/p/N82E16822510019), lines 91–110, checked 2026-10-11.)
Which comparison paths fit this model?
This model can meet capacity floors through more than 1TB and can meet a required USB 3.0 or documented USB 2.0 host path. It fits when the external-power desk setup is acceptable and the buyer does not require documented FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA, RAID, console, or direct-TV features. It should be excluded when bus power is required. A buyer who needs one of those other connections or capabilities should choose a separately documented model that meets that condition rather than treating missing evidence as a match. Its useful distinction is the combination of 2TB capacity, USB connections, and a fixed desktop format, not a performance ranking.

What else to compare
Before you buy
Does GF3B2000U64 work with a USB 2.0 computer?
The exact-model Newegg listing says it is USB 2.0 compatible as well as USB 3.0. Check that the actual cable and host port are compatible.
Can it run from USB power without an outlet?
No bus-power support is documented for this desktop model. The saved product record identifies a power-supply-based setup, so do not select it when bus power is a hard requirement.
Is it the same 2TB product as Fantom model GFP2000EU3?
No. The model codes identify separate configurations, and the saved source decisions document different connection details. Confirm the exact code before buying.
Does USB 3.0 guarantee a particular transfer speed?
No. The interface is documented, but no saved source provides a measured transfer rate for a real host, cable, or workload.
Does historical ASIN B0051MQM0E identify a current exact offer?
That mapping is unverified. Use the tagged model search and confirm the listing's code, condition, and included power supply.
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.
