 Great drive for PS3 and MBP September 7, 2010
LyouV
Great Drive. Small, slim, and aesthetically pleasing. Simple to use and format the unnecessary files included in the drive, which is an issue with the Western Digital My Passport. Lots of people have commented on how they like the lights of the drive. The silver and black one compliment the Macbook Pro nicely.
I'm using the drive on a Macbook Pro and Playstation 3. It was formatted 2/3 Fat32 for the Playstation and 1/3 Mac format (HFS+) for use with time machine. Works flawlessly on both devices. No issues so far. Speed isn't bad, no lag when watching movies straight from the drive. Don't let the negative reviews deter you, hard drives are fragile so yes some will arrive dead and some will die within a couple months. Regardless of the manufacturer hard drives fail, its a fact. That is why it is important to backup your backup. Spending $170 on two drives is much better than spending up to a $1000 to recover data from a hard drive that has failed. If it ever were to fail Seagate's 5 year warranty is definitely a reason to purchase this over its competitors. The Western Digital equivalent which comes with a 2 year warranty is almost disrespectful to the consumer. If I purchase any product I want the manufacturer to stand behind it. Very happy overall with the purchase, I've also had the old freeagent (non "go" version) for years and it's still running great.
Purchased the 640GB and its socking to see they have raised the price by over $20, I thought electronics drop in price with time not increase. I would have purchased another one already if that wasn't the case.
A lot better than the Western Digital "my Passport" drives. September 7, 2010

My choice between this and the Western Digital "my Passport" drive wasn't an easy one. I've long been a fan of Western Digital, but their "my Passport" drive series is nothing but a pain from what I've heard.
It seems it constantly tries to install software every time you plug it in, and formatting the drive does not help as it's built into the hardware. That would be very aggravating, especially if you're like me and you don't want any special software; you just want storage.
This Seagate FreeAgent does exactly what I want. Reliable, quick (for a USB powered 5400RPM drive), doesn't force their software on you & just works.

Very nice little drive, Compact design makes it great for travel and very easy to use.
A bit bulky, but really good otherwise. September 7, 2010

Hi,
This 1TB pocketable HDD is very good from the features/performance perspective. Just that it is a bit bulky compared to the competition. The bulkiness is easily offset by the 5yr warranty that it carries and the name Seagate is respected in the consumer data storage circles.
I also bought a Case Logic Compact Portable Hard Drive Case (Black) to carry this baby. The HDD fits in the case nicely and securely.
A reliable external hard drive September 5, 2010

I have purchased four of these drives so far. Two 320 GB drives were purchased more than two years ago and are still working well. The other two are more recent purchases. I recently purchased a Toshiba Canvio drive after I was lured into buying it due to its low "Deal of the Day" price. The Toshiba drive was defective right out of the box and never worked. I returned the Toshiba Canvio to Amazon and replaced it with a Seagate FreeAgent Go 500 GB drive, which worked perfectly from the start. The Seagate FreeAgent Go was also recognized by my son's MacBook Pro without any problem. I have been satisfied with Seagate drives and will continue to return to that brand as a customer.
