    This is a good quality drive. It has the best warranty you can get on this type of product. It performs well for USB but it would be nice to have a faster interface as well to go with the 7200 RPM drive inside. The base is fixed so the drive cannot lay flat but that is not a big issue. I haven't used the included software so I cannot comment on it. I would recommend this drive as an excellent external storage device.      » READ MORE

    I needed an external Hard drive for storage and this was ideal, for all school work, music and photos. 500GB is more then enough for backup which is great and a plus the size of it is pretty small, I was expecting it to be way bigger but it wasn't. So far so good, nice data transfer rates, looks good, stays cool. Definitely a good buy, would highly recommend. :)      » READ MORE

    This is my first external hard drive. It's been holding up very well, transfer speeds are good, no strange noises, or errors. The problem I'm having though (Not sure if it's the drive's fault) is that I can't seem to safely eject the drive from any of my computers (2 XP's and 1 linux). I have to unplug the usb without ejecting, which could be bad. Also, though, I know that (most?) external drives need an external power source, but that really takes away from the portability of the device. But all in all, good product.      » READ MORE

    I recently just ordered this drive so my mom could use it as a backup. and i am very glad i did. It is an excellent product and would recommend it to anyone looking for an external drive of decent size for a low price, while still maintaining quality.      » READ MORE

    I trust Seagate, but why didn't put a power button on it? Other than that it does the job for someone who needs the extra space.       » READ MORE
