Horrible Aug 25, 2008 Probably the Amazon purchase I regret the most. YOU CAN TRUST THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!! I wish I had.
I have only had this drive since January. It was easy to install, easy to move files, etc. About a month ago, the drive started malfunctioning. My computer wouldn't recognize it, and it stopped connecting to my computer. Mind you, I have so much of my data stored on this thing. A few days ago, it just stopped working all together. Before, it was like it worked for ten minutes, then shut off, and back and forth like that.
On Saturday, I discovered that the USB port was broken and floating around inside the drive. I called Seagate TEN MINUTES AGO and found out from one guy that I had two options: 1.there may be a chance that only the part can be fixed, and 2.data recovery. The data recovery costs $1700 to 2000. Yes, you read that right. Now, look at the price Amazon sells this for. I paid only $86 for it. Why would I send this back, only to NOT get a direct quote from them, and have them pretty much hold my device hostage? Do you see the difference btwn price and how much it costs to fix it? I nearly blew my top. And all the representative could say was "I understand."
I've learned my lesson. Be careful with this brand. I am going to try to get a friend to fix it or help me get my data off, but if he can't do it, I have lost so many documents, family photos, projects, etc.
8 Months of Action Still Going Strong Aug 17, 2008 I've had no problems with the drive. It is fast with USB 2.0. I've only had it connected to a single machine. I've used about 100GB of the capacity backing up my files. I've restored files from several directories and experienced no corruption.
hard drive review Jul 14, 2008 So far so good, but I've only had it for less than a month. It holds everything well and works quickly.
Excellent Product Jul 09, 2008 Excellent Product. Got it for backing up a Mac. Took a few minutes to reset it for this use, but works exactly the way it should. Easy to set up and use.
Worked for about a year Jul 07, 2008 I backed up my laptop about 4 or 5 times over the past year. Now the Seagate FreeAgent doesn't seem to power up at all. No lights. No action. It's just dead. (I must have gotten a bum unit. Apparently most others haven't had the same problem.)
