Absolute rubbish DO NOT BUY August 27, 2008 It took this pathetic excuse of a hard-drive about 1 month to start causing problems, the lead barely fit into the port in the back of the harddrive and the slightest movement stopped it working. Then after a while i had to hold it in the port for it to work. there are obviously problems with this product because when i took it back to the shop the sales rep told me they had received a number of similar complaints and had taken most of what they had sold back. Seagate are the worst company to deal aswell if you are uk based do not call seagate they have a rediculous packing requirements if you want to send the product back to them and never mind the 30 it cost me to get in touch on their super expensive 008 european line, that is if you can even get in touch with someone.
Nifty Drive at Top Price August 13, 2008 Got this HD as I'm a small external HD fan. All computers (XP and Vista) have no probs finding and running it. Works a treat with iTunes and runs fines from a USB Hub. For less than 40, its a steal and better value than a flash drive.
Recommended July 22, 2008 I bought this unit for three reasons: i) the pile of back-up CDs for my PC was getting cumbersome and my pal Cugz, a ginger tom, kept knocking them on the floor, as he sauntered over my computer desk; ii) I was unable to back-up my laptop, as it doesn't have a RW drive; iii) the price. This is my first external hard drive and I bought it for its abilities and small size - not for its looks (sleek though it may be!). Amazon excelled themselves with next-day delivery, on the Super Saver option. I connected it to an external USB hub (because my state-of-the-Ark PC has only two USB ports) and, as other reviewers have said, it didn't work. Doom and gloom scenario? Well, not really: when I connected my Seagate via a powered USB hub, everything worked as it should. I now have both computers backed up to my FreeAgent, with bags of gigabytes left for future back-ups. I would recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a small, portable, external hard drive, provided they can meet the USB criteria.
A stylish way to waste resources. June 26, 2008 20 out of 25 found this review helpful
The first thing you NEED to know about this drive is that it needs two of your PC's USB slots - and they have to be the slots on your actual computer, not on an add-on hub (the extra few inches of cable on the hub will be enough to stop your drive from working.)
I'd assumed that it would also come with a 'proper' mains adaptor, like some of my Western Digital drives, but no. You can *only* use USB slots, and they have to be the ones on the PC.
When I discovered this, I started to dislike this product. And from there, things got worse.
The front of the drive has a pretty (but oversized and power-consuming) light panel. It takes up the whole front side of the drive, is on constantly (changing in intensity when the drive is accessed), and is totally unnecessary.
I can see people liking it because it looks cool, but really, what a waste of power. I wonder if one of those precious USB slots is needed just to keep this light show going?
When you get it working, you'll be offered the chance to install the 'Ceedo' software. This allows you to carry around apps and files. (I thought ALL USB drives allowed you to carry files around!)
Maybe it's just a personal thing, or maybe I was so annoyed by now that I hated almost everything about this drive, but I found the bundled software irritating and intrusive. Thankfully it includes its own uninstall routine, so you can dump it and then delete it from the drive.
Ceedo allows you to carry your web browser and email software around with you, helpfully offering you a drop-down menu to select your browser/reader of choice.
Uh... you can have ANY browser, so long as it's Internet Explorer, and any email software... so long as it's Outlook Express. I wouldn't touch either of them with a bargepole.
Yep. I'm REALLY hating this product.
I'm not quite sure why they bothered with that menu at all.
This is the 5th external drive I've bought for my computers. All the others have been Western Digital, and not all have been without minor annoyances - but none have been as bad as this resource-hogging, intrusive beast.
If you haven't already guessed, I totally regret buying it, and for future purchases I'll be going back to Western Digital.
Two stars, because it does at least function as a USB hard drive, and I'll be able to delete the awful Ceedo software. But I'm still mad about those USB ports!
Fantastic, small drive June 24, 2008 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was very pleased with this drive. I was worried about having to use 2 usb ports, but the drive worked perfectly well on just 1.
I did not use the bundled software, as I do not need the functionality.
I'm beginning to wish I bought a larger version of the drive - 120GB is easy to fill up!
