 Very Good...but... October 7, 2008
Lee Chan (Tokyo)
Works fine, no real complaints to be honest.
Note though: while this will work perfectly for data storage, it was quite slow when it came down to streaming video of it. I need to copy and paste the file back onto my computer to stream it without the video slowing down every so often. Checked with my other computers as well and it's the same problem. Shame really, it's otherwise great.

Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 500GB External Hard Drive EU & UK 3,5" 7200RPM 8MB USB2.0
I've been using this hard drive for a couple of months now.
It was really easy to set up and install, and only took about 10 minutes before I was backing up my desktop & laptop PCs. I was quite happy with the transfer speed given it was through a USB2 connection.
It looks good, with a warm glow coming off it when powered up. Powers down after a period of inactivity, but responds quickly when it's required again. No on/off switch, but I dont find that an issue. Good size, not to high or wide, and fits in to one side of my desktop monitor without looking out of place.
Very well priced on Amazon, and it's worth the investment given the protection it provides when disaster strikes on your main PC.
I've read some of the reviews, which did not rate this product very favourably, which surprised me. Over many years of using computers, I have always used Seagate or Maxtor hard drives without any major problems.
I dont have any reason to think this external hard drive will be any different

Just bought this and am well pleased. What's been changed?The power supply has been changed so that now you slide on whichever adaptor you require(see customer photos). You get a more robust arangement that's no wider than a normal plug.
Will leave a reliability edit in the future.

Purchased 6 weeks ago to backup up movies and files from my PC ,works quickly and smoothly with absolutely no problems virtually silent too!
Sleeps when my PC sleeps and wakes together so I cannot fault at the moment.
