 Great External Drive At Reasonable Cost August 18, 2008
I bought two of these 18 months ago and love them! I use them as working drives for video editing and have never had a problem, even daisy-chained with two older external drives. The extra firewire port can also be used to hook up a video camera with the computer.
I noted a few other comments about heat output and failure to go to sleep. My drives are hot on the bottom and they do not go to sleep when the computer is idle, but I don't perceive either state to be a performance issue. The glow is kinda cool in the dark!
Easy, no-fuss backup August 17, 2008
This external hard drive gave me exactly what I was looking for: an easy, solid way to keep my laptop backed up. The software makes it easy to select what and when you want to back up. Installation was easy and straightforward as well. I'm quite happy with this product.
 Flakey with Mac G5 August 14, 2008

This drive is very unstable with my G5. There were problems with file transfers and it would constantly disappear from my desktop. I've had no problems with Lacie or OWC.
Not as happy as I should be August 10, 2008

Good product, well reviewed, good price, runs quiet..........however
my drive would power up and shut down repeatedly. Never got my computer to recognize the device because it wouldn't stay powered up. After an hour on the phone with tech support they told me to mail it back with a website to give me a pre- printed return address label. That's all cool, but in the fine print, your mailing cost to send it back is on the buyer and the returned unit will still have the 5 yr warranty but may be factory reconditioned. Hard to feel good about paying an extra $10 to ship and getting a less than new device!
 Failed two hours out of the box August 9, 2008

Very disappointed with this purchase(return).
Setup was a snap, but it quit on me while backing up 120 gigs of data. I tried a smaller backup (1.2 gigs) and the drive failed on 99% of the backup... then it just quit all together and was not recognized by my Mac.
Disk verification and repair (on my Mac) both showed errors on the Seagate drive that were unfixable.
