 Seagate FreeAgent Pro 1 TB 3.5" USB 2.0/FireWire 400 External Hard Drive September 6, 2008
Bought this external hard drive for my son-in-law's birthday to replace the 250G FreeAgent I gave him about a year ago. I was excited to find a new external hard drive with the larger storage capability at a great price. It was very easy to set up. We are both happy with the purchase. Thanks Amazon.

Two weeks into the ownership of this hard drive, it froze up. None of my computers recognized the device. I have sent it in for a replacement, which was done with little problem, and we'll give it another try. I'll see if a smart move or a dumb mistake not refunding.
Great looking August 14, 2008
The big deal with this external drive is the triple interface.
It's refreshing to have an external drive that doesn't hurt your eyes due to overly-bright LEDs. You can turn the illumination off or have it indicate transfer activity -- at least in theory. I don't see any indication of activity.
I bought this to back up an Iomega 1TB NAS (network-attached storage) device. I was expecting to use Acronis True Image to backup the NAS onto the FreeAgent. No good. I'm using a combination of direct copying and the Roxio Backup My PC program.
I'm happy, so far, with the FreeAgent. It has a 5 year warranty, which was very important to me.
Great storage, backs up three PCs August 4, 2008

The 1TB drive is a great size to back up either several versions of a typical home PCs data, or more than one computer. The unusual configuration of the hardware has the power brick permanently attached to the end of the drive enclosure, which means that the unit can only be placed end up on a flat surface, the power brick acting as a stand. This was only a problem because the power brick/stand prevented the drive from being stowed in an external hard drive storage/transportation case.
I have used Seagate drives for many years both professionally and personally and have found them to be very reliable. The 5 year warranty is awesome, and standard on Seagates. I do a straight data to drive backup on my Vista 64 machine, and the software works on my XP machines, but its just a convenience since I just backup a ton of PhotoShop files and my Documents directory.
5 Years of Guaranteed Triple Goodness July 29, 2008

Gotta love manufacturers who backup reliability claims with 5 year warranties. You are safe buying from Amazon, safe with Seagates 5 year warranty, future proofed with the triple interface. The interfaces covers all bases; eSATA (fastest if you have compatiblity), USB 2, Firewire 400 (IEEE 1394). Fast and quiet. Cool design. Solid build. Auto-shutoff works for my situation.
