Customer Reviews

Seagate: A company in need of defrag.
This product is actually a replacement for my 100Gb drive of the same type. The drive does what I expected; however, had I not lost the USB Y cable, I would not have known how bad Seagate really was. The cable is NOT universal, which means, I would need to get it directly from Seagate. I call Seagate, and after a half hour or longer, I reach India and they said they would send me another one for $10. A week later, they reversed the credit card transaction for some unknown reason.

I call back, and they said, it is not in stock... gee, thanks for telling me a week ago. I go to where I bought it (Comp USA) and the drives were all replaced a few weeks prior with Seagate's successor drive. The drive case has Torx security screws (5 point) which is not easy to get your hands on. I finally had to drill the screws through, and then after all that, Seagate made it so I can't just plug the laptop drive within, into my IDE channel in my computer. Beware Seagate.

Piece of Trash
I bought this item to simply back up my data in case of a hard drive failure on my machine. I could count on one hand the number of times I've used it, and I keep it stored safely and never take it anywhere. It just died on me at just over a year old. Right as the warranty wore out.

No more Seagate for me. One and done.

External Hard Drive
Great Product, I like that it doesn't have to have external power.
Pretty cheap for $/GB. I always love seagate.
