Review: Seagate 500gb Freeagent Usb External Hard Drive

Review: Not Reliable At All. Please Dont Waste Your Money.

I had this drive for 6 months and kept backing up data periodically. But the drive stopped working after 6 months and I had to format it entirely to make it work. I lost personal pics and a lot of stuff because of this drive.

My recommendation is to never purchase it and if you already have it, don't use it to backup your data. You will be greatly disappointed. [↑]

Review: Avoid This Product

Please avoid this product. This past week, I dropped the drive about two feet ONTO A CARPET FLOOR as I was rearranging wires. Now it gives off a periodic beep and a constant hard-drive type hum, is not recognizeable by the PC at all, and is essentially dead. The problem is that I recently downloaded many, many GBs of irreplaceable data onto this drive. I suppose the mistake was mine to think I could count on such a simple product to be that reliable, but I guess the point is if you are planning to use this device to store data you can live without, by all means, go ahead. However, if like me, you would be virtually devestated at the loss of the data you might store on this, please avoid at all cost. I have no bone to pick with Seagate/Maxtor- I am just basically numb right now to think one tiny drop onto carpet would erase months of work in the blink of an eye. It's gone. [↑]

Review: Seagate 500gb Freeagent Usb External Hard Drive

This product works fine. I keep all my iTunes on it, but it can be a bit glitchy. For example, it works fine on a fresh boot up. No problems. However, if attached and active when computer hibernates, my system can't seem to find it when it is reactivated. Not really a problem. I just have to reboot the laptop to get it to read the external harddrive. It is just a minor nuisance.
I can't really say it is the external HD problem or my computer. So I have to give the device 4 stars.
