Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB 3.5-Inch USB 2.0 Hard Drive ST305004FDA1E1-RK

I bought this external hard drive to back up my husband's bird photos; considered it a more cost-effective method to online storage.

The unit, while plastic, was well packed and quickly shipped. Despite some critical reviews, I am pleased with the product. Installation was automatic on a Windows machine running XP Pro and took less than five minutes to install and customize the backups.

The Seagate Free Agent lets you retrieve files easily and settings can be adjusted for any type of automatic backup with the files and folders you choose to back up.

The 500GB storage size is perfect for most computers (Note: only 465GB actually available).

The slim vertical profile takes up no more space than a stapler.

The drive comes with a power cord, USB cable and installation instructions for both Windows and Mac. The User manual is pre-installed.

Installation and initial operation went flawlessly; I will be back with an update aftern further use, however, right now, I like it a lot.

Appears to be a great product with simple installation. Arrived within a week. No problems after one month. Very happy. Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB 3.5-Inch USB 2.0 Hard Drive ST305004FDA1E1-RK

The product worked fine for about a month and then stopped. Fortunately the warranty information is stored online and lasts for 4-5 yrs. Just be sure to save the original packaging if the product becomes defective. This way you won't have to pay for more should the product become defective and you need to send it out. It has not been an unpleasant experience so only 4 stars. It would have been 3 but 5 yrs is a good deal on a warranty I didn't have to pay extra for.

I bought this external drive because of the service I have had from a smaller more portable drive for my laptop. Having contacted tech support I found very prompt reply to my e-mails and courteous communications. I would highly reccommend this drive.

Desde que adquirí este disco, cambio el almacenamiento en mi laptop. Ahora con solo un click almaceno los archivos que quiera sin importar su tamaño, la rapidez de interacción de este Disco Duro (HD) es impresionante, así de rápido *.
El precio por lo que obtienes es otra ventaja, ademas del respaldo de una marca reconocida.
