3 out of 5 stars Seagate Tech Support Disappoints   November 20, 2008
Jamie (Scotland)
I can confirm that Rory's comments are valid but Seagate Tech Support has disappointed me. The drive comes with pre installed back up software that won't work with Win 2K even though it says on the box that Win 2K is one of the requirements. The software only works with XP and Vista.

Seagates response to my query for compatible software was:
'When you purchased this drive it did not come with software I suspect it would have been downloaded as an add on.' and rubbing salt in the wound they say: 'the add on software will not work and we never said it would because it wasn't included in that box.'

I've always bought Seagates because of their long warranty but with this level of denial on their preinstalled software, I wonder what their warranty is worth. I don't like their attitude - next time I'll try another manufacturer.



4 out of 5 stars Not Bad, OS X Instalation interesting though   May 9, 2008
Rory Mercer (United Kingdom)
12 out of 13 found this review helpful

Design wise, this is a sleek looking piece of hardware that fits in nicely on a desktop. As to the company claim that it is no bigger than a stapler with its vertical footprint, I can only presume that they have rather large staplers.

That aside though, the single orange light that flashes as though the device was breathing is attractive but not distracting when watching movies ect.

I am running OS X 10.4.11 and it works perfectly, their installer is useless however. After waiting for it to run and configure my device properly (yawn) and after rebooting my drive was recognised but not writable.

After trawling their tech support website they said to use Disk Utility to reformat the disk (my next port of call anyway) so its easy enough providing you have the confidence in OS X Disk Utility.

And as for value for money you really can't get better than this for 750GB at this price. I plan on partitioning it into two pieces, one for time machine ect and I am sure it will do perfectly.

So, overall it is stylish, good value and small (compared to others) and, if it wasn't for having to use Disk Utility to format the drive, I think I would be giving 5 stars.

All in all I would recommend it
