 Does not mount reliably, leading to strange errors July 30, 2010
Michael D. Hayden
The drive does not mount reliably, and when tested, it seems to show boot sector errors that cannot be fixed. However, if I simply reconnect the drive or restart the computer and then test again, it shows no errors at all and runs as expected. The upshot is that I can limp along for now (it's just one drive in a rotating backup), but I expect the drive to fail in the near future and I cannot recommend it to anyone else.
EDIT: My drive is about seven months old, but since it's part of a rotating backup, it wasn't used for the entire seven months. Other reviewers say their drives failed around the same time. Defect?
Everything is great about this hard drive July 30, 2010
William D. Myers (Cleveland, OH)
I really have nothing to complain about and this product has worked flawlessly for me for the past several months. Definitely a good purchase. Will be buying again from Seagate soon.
Backup software very poor. July 29, 2010
Richard Roles
I purchased this a month ago it use to backup my two computers. AfterI had to reformat my hard disk today I found out that I cannot just restore my files. All I can do is click and drag the files. A Google search will turn up many people unhappy about this. This was the response of a Seagate forum moderator to a similar complaint.
"I asked one of our techs, and he said that the Manager restore function isn't that strong anyway, really. Bottom line - this drive is not marketed as nor was it conceived of as a product with a high-tech, super-strong backup program. It's a storage facility, and that's it.
So, to restore, drag and drop, copy and paste, etc...
I hope that helps. For full, disaster-recovery backups of your system, ie, your entire C: drive, programs, operating system, settings, registry, all that stuff, use DiscWizard's image backup. It is also free. I know that doesn't help at this precise moment, but I mean for future reference."
You have been warned.
 Crash and lost... July 27, 2010
HM
HORRIBLE! After 6 months, I began to have trouble, I was using this as my Time Machine backup -- and Time Machine said the device was becoming unstable. Went into the Mac store to see what was happening, if it was my computer or the device, the device was making noises and I was told this company has become undependable. They used to make good drives, but S they got bigger, quality went down. If I want to salvage the data I have to pay a small fortune. MAJOR waste of money.
Crashed in 4 weeks July 26, 2010
rrhandle
It sat next to my pc for 4 weeks. Then started giving windows delay write errors. Trying to get help from the seagate web site is impossible. I see there are numerous reports on the web concerning failures of this device. Avoid it.
