Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good Drive but very poor disk controllerI kept getting multiple problems with sections of files (.avi) missing when copied to this drive. Very strange I thought as the disk is a highly reliable one from the "Barracuda" series. Conclusion is that the disk controller is not man enough for the job. Opened the case, removed the drive (it's a standard sata type), installed it in my pc and it's working perfectly. My advice is to buy an sata drive and install it in an ici-box or similar if you want an external hard drive. Rating:  - Bad bad seagate drivesI had a 500Gb and a 750Gb Seagate FreeAgent drive. They were both full and then crashed within a month of each other. Seagate will replace the drive, but i loose all the data on them. I will never buy a Seagate product again. I will try anything else, but never this product again. Rating:  - Good ProductIts a quite good product for money.. But little bulky though. Should be Ok for stationery users Rating: - Get the info right!!This got a good review in Which? so I bought one. The blurb here said it was ok for my G5 Mac but I couldn't get it to work. 2 calls to the Seagate help-desk in Colorado didn't help. I accidentally discovered (can't remember how) that it wouldn't work with Panther, my OS, but would with the later Leopard OS. In that case it's NOT Mac compatible. Why say it is? The helpful thing was being able to print the return label & the instant refund from Amazon. A1 service there!! They exchanged it for a Freecom which connected to my G5 & worked right away. Rating:  - Great productHi I recently purchased this product from amazon itself. Let me start by congratulating Seagate for such a wonderful product. It is quiet, surprisingly light and sleek. Data transfer is not an issue in this product. I transferred/backed up 100 gig of data( pictures, music, videos) within an hour. Its super fast. Setup and installation is child's play. Its easy to disconnect the product from the PC as well. Just like any other USB product, simply disconnect it using Safely remove hardware. The light too is neatly designed. When transferring data, the light keeps going dim and brightening up, indicating data transfer. The EU plug is not an issue as there is an adapter included. the UK version sold on Amazon comes for 71£ whereas this is for 15£ less. My brother has a Western digital mybook but that product is much heavier and bigger in dimension compared to seagate freeagent. Seagate have been frontrunners in Hard disk drives and once again they have proven to be one of the very best. My full five stars for this!! I recommend this product to anyone and everyone. Whats more, if you buy it from Amazon, you know you are covered for atleast a month when it comes to replacement(which I hardly think will be needed) Birdy  Try searching the Internet for "Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 500GB External Hard Drive EU & UK 3,5" 7200RPM 8MB USB2.0" or Ebay for "Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 500GB External Hard Drive EU & UK 3,5" 7200RPM 8MB USB2.0".
