Digital camera reviews of Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB 3.5-Inch USB 2.0 Hard Drive ST305004FDA1E1-RK
Digital camera Review: "Set it and forget it."
Summary: 4 Stars
Works well. Easy to use. Setup was a bit difficult and customer support at first not very helpful, but once I spoke with someone willing to help solve the problem, everything went quickly and smoothly. I would buy again and recommend this product to others.Digital camera Review: 'Data Mover' and backup software a trial version only
Summary: 2 Stars
I read the box over and over to make sure I understood what capabilities this drive had besides just being a large hard drive. The data syncronization, backup and versioning capabilities were the biggest selling points for me. The device was touted as a 'Data Mover' rather than a drive. I was very disappointed to find out that the software that does everything the box promises is a trial version. Plan to spend another $30 if you want any of those capabilities. It also seems cheap that an eSata cable is not included. Otherwise, the drive is quiet, looks cool with the lighting and does not get as hot as other reviews have indicated. The drive is good, but don't buy it for the Data Mover functions promised on the box. The advertising seems very misleading.Digital camera Review: 3 Duds
Summary: 1 Stars
I have the misfortune of having 3 of these duds. 1T and a 500GB DIED after about a year, both drives were full. I loss all that information. The 1T died 2 months ago, and the 500GB died today, it doesn't even spin, in both cases, I heard the disconnect tone, but I hadn't disconnected them. I took all the info off of the 3rd drive (5ooGB), to protect my info. I bought them because they were on sell, and they look sleek. I should have stuck with Western Digital, they have NEVER felled me. I have to keep the Seagates because they have my info on them, and will continue to search the internet for HELP!!!!Digital camera Review: 5 year warranty not enough
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this drive in the summer of 2008 and unexpectedly in the summer of 2009 it just would not communicate with my MacBook pro. Seagate did do what they said and after I paid for shipping, after reading the problems other people have been experiencing, last month to the repair location they sent one back. Then I got a new or fixed drive and when I got it back it still did not communicate with my MacBook Pro. Now I am working to contact Seagate again to figure out what's wrong with the "repaired" drive. The Seagate drives are not worth the risk/money in my opinion. Don't think about the warranty. I need my drive and it won't even work and I've had to do so much to get it repaired/replaced.So all in all don't buy their products. WD works better if you ask me.Digital camera Review: 500 GB External HDD purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a 500 GB external HDD from Amazon recently. The product was delivered before the date communicated, in perfect condition. The packaging was very good. I have been using the hard disk without any issues. Thanks Amazon for making my life simpler. I dont have to go out any more to purchase at competitive prices :-)
