Digital camera reviews of Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB 3.5-Inch USB 2.0 Hard Drive ST305004FDA1E1-RK
Digital camera Review: Delay Write Failure will drive you crazy
Summary: 1 Stars
worked fine for the first two days or so then the DWF started popping up. At first I was convinced that this should be an error attributed to the Windows OS but hey other external hard drives i have work fine without ever experiencing this annoying problem. I've tried the drive on a few computers no exception yeah DWF DWF DWF......one time the DWF even corrupted 20GB of my data the dead sector is still there sitting. I've learned my lesson with these pathetic drives I'd recommend all of you to buy hard drive enclosure instead and fit it with your own desired internal hard drive yes a little troublesome but well worth the fuss coz it will last and wont just stop responding while plugged in.
I've heard that Seagate makes internal drives of admirable quality but they have failed big time on these external drives
Digital camera Review: Die in one day... I would rate 0 if possible
Summary: 1 Stars
Got this last week, plugged in and used it last night, and then started to trasfer my files to it. After finishing transferring all my data to the device, it died... Tried troubleshoot for three hours, tried it on two of my computers, both could not detect the hard drive, and off course, no way for me to get my data back... I would never ever by Seagate's product anymore. Painful experience...Digital camera Review: Died after 1 month

Well, I lost all my data within a month. The drive just died one fine day. I cracked it open and discovered the circuit board was burnt. I thought I could atleast get my data back by putting the drive in an external enclosure. No luck there as the drive itself seems dead. Well thats the last time I buy a Seagate. There are a ton of bad reviews about this thing on the net, so be careful. Buy it only of you don't care about the data you put on it.Digital camera Review: Died after 2 months of use
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this drive in September and it died already. Contacted Customer support and Seagate is sending another drive since there is a 5 year warranty. I'm just thankful my data was also backed up on another computer so no data has been lost - would have been much worse if my files had been lost.Digital camera Review: Died within the first month
Summary: 1 Stars
Software and installation was a cinch. Really great idea. Unit would not power up after less than one month.
