Seegate FreeAgent Go 500GB
I bought the Seagate Free Agent Go approximately a month ago. It works great. The actual setup took less then 10 minutes,it was basically plug and play. I would recommend this unit to everyone.


not reliable backup
The included "automatic backup" software doesn't work after a few days of use. The list of "exceptions" - files skipped during the backup routine - was extensive, running into the hundreds. These files had previously been read without problem; the first dozen or so backups went smoothly enough. Slow, but everything was read and backed up. But for no apparent reason (I had not used recovery or anything like that, hadn't installed any new programs or peripherals) the backup feature no longer worked correctly. So, I reformatted the drive, removed the software, and now it's just an external (and portable) hard drive. Nothing more, nothing less!!


Love these free agents!
I have a few of these. 250GB, 300GB and recently just purchased the 1TB.
Warning on the 1TB it took a few days to format out of the box. the third day my computer was shut down and when I rebooted the drive said it needed to be formated. I finially opted for the quick format which took about a few seconds. I have not put anything on it yet. I am sure it will work as well as my others, only one usb to power and use it. I love these things. I am currently loading my dvd's on them to play on my netbooks which do not have the optical drives for dvds.


good product, good sale
I enjoy this product, and it works just great. Handy, compact, and durable, hasn't been tested from a drop or water damage yet, but it seems to be perfect.


Good drive for your media library
I purchased this 1TB drive, and put a few video files on it as a test, and plugged it into my Samsung 52" lcd (model ln52B630). it played back flawlessly!!!. You couldn't tell if it was USB or HDMI, and it was USB. I gave this 3 stars because I did not like the bloatware that is included with this drive, but if you want the backup options included I guess they are fine. I got the free dock, which I hooked up to the TV. The drive seems solid and well built.
