 Well I am a happy customer August 25, 2008

Plug and play device at a very good price.
Compare the price you would have to pay for an 8G Memory stick and then work out how much extra storage capacity the seagate drive has.....there is no doubts in my mind which would be the right direction to head in when making the choices.
When it comes to any kind of important files always follow my lead. Back up to disc....Back up to Pen drives........Back up to the old spare computer..........Yes back up on the Seagate Freeagent drive as well...... Share all your photos on disc with your families.........Dont rely on any one single form of back up .
This Seagate drive has given me no problems.....YET! Unlike other people who have reviewed it .
So for now I give it a thumbs up.
 Good Drive but very poor disk controller August 19, 2008

I kept getting multiple problems with sections of files (.avi) missing when copied to this drive. Very strange I thought as the disk is a highly reliable one from the "Barracuda" series.
Conclusion is that the disk controller is not man enough for the job.
Opened the case, removed the drive (it's a standard sata type), installed it in my pc and it's working perfectly.
My advice is to buy an sata drive and install it in an ici-box or similar if you want an external hard drive.
 Bad bad seagate drives August 9, 2008

I had a 500Gb and a 750Gb Seagate FreeAgent drive. They were both full and then crashed within a month of each other. Seagate will replace the drive, but i loose all the data on them. I will never buy a Seagate product again. I will try anything else, but never this product again.

This got a good review in Which? so I bought one. The blurb here said it was ok for my G5 Mac but I couldn't get it to work. 2 calls to the Seagate help-desk in Colorado didn't help. I accidentally discovered (can't remember how) that it wouldn't work with Panther, my OS, but would with the later Leopard OS. In that case it's NOT Mac compatible. Why say it is?
The helpful thing was being able to print the return label & the instant refund from Amazon. A1 service there!! They exchanged it for a Freecom which connected to my G5 & worked right away.
