Mine works fine

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2007
Review: I used to use other ext drives, IOMega one is too hot and cannot work after four hours.
I use this one for 6months+ and never down. I leave power connected and it has auto power on/off. I think the internal is a PATA drive.
Sometimes you...

A reliable and sturdy product

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: After dropping this and slamming it, it still works... So I recommend this product. Study, Dependable, and a trusted brand.
Review: In the world of portable media, it's important to have the storage for whatever files you have. In this particular case, I upgraded from an old Seagate 40GB drive to this newer FreeAgent 500GB. So far, I haven't been disappointed.

First,...

Good Drive As a Backup Device

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy this if you want a decent backup storage drive.
Review: Even after reading about some of the bad experiences some fellow users have had on this product, I still decided to get one as I needed a drive to backup all my documents/music/videos etc, and the price was decent ($125). Connecting the drive was a...

Fast, quite, dependable

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Looking for an inexpensive but dependable external hard drive. Look no further.
Review: The Seagate FreeAgent 500GB external hard drive is perfect for doing backups as well as using it for additional file storage.

I purchased my FreeAgent from newegg.com about a month ago. The software installation started right up the first...

Buyer Beware

Date of Review:  May 27, 2007
Review: After I backed up 250GB of data, the power supply failed. I have had this drive for less than a week. Seagate's podcast site also lists a customer who had the same failure. This is still a new drive to the market, so I don't think this problem is...

Excellent Runs in Background, no hassles

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2008
Review: I got mine from buy.com about three months ago, I set it to run every morning at 5am, so I don't have to mess with it. I check to see if it has been doing it's job and it does it. It is great to have it.
I will note that if you keep a lot of...

Only as an External

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: Run away from the Seagate FreeAgent external hard drives!
Review: The Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB hard drive was on sale at Best Buy one day for $99 so I decided to pick it up. I actually needed 2 internal hard drives, but the external ones were on sale for the same price as an internal drive, so I decided to...
