 CRAP! July 29, 2010
EGAR
Ok so I formatted the disk before i offically "used" it because I kept reading complaints about sleep mode,
ok It was taking forever, so i opted for "quick format"
tried switching documents and was writing at about 18 mb/sec which if it is manufacturing speed would be one of the slowests speeds ever recorded.
Right now I am completely frustrated with Seagate customer service, its horrible and they take their time to respond
I'm currently in the second hour of re-formating my disk
any help would be greatly appreciated
pls message me at ej-garcia@live.com if you have any suggestiongs
I just cant opperate at 18 mb/s
 Fast, Reliable, & Sleek External HD July 28, 2010

Dear Amazon,
I was looking for a basic external HD that was fast, reliable and sleek.
The Seagate Expansion 500GB was exactly what I was looking for.
Took it out of the box, hooked it up to my computer, and I was good to go.
I encountered the widely mentioned power-standby problem, but it was easily fixed through the format method discussed in previous reviews.
The ONLY thing I would change about the HD is the material of the exterior shell. Perhaps an aluminum or metal casing would provide a more durable feel to the HD, compared to the plastic exterior it currently has.
Oh and it would have been nice if Seagate included a case, or at least a sleeve, with the product.
All in all, if you're looking for an external HD, the Seagate Expansion 500GB will satisfy most of your needs.
Best wishes,
TheLakeShow

Excellent product. I use this product to take large sets of folders and files with me when I travel. The drive is portable and true plug and play - a great accessory for those who need portable file storage

I have it connected to my laptop for 2 months now and use it as backup and storage device.
No hassles detecting, formatting or using the device with my macbook pro and Snow Leopard.
The cable is a little too short, but not really uncommonly short for those devices (if you use it with your laptop on the desk - no problem. Watching movies in bed - better get a extension cable)
So easy to use! July 21, 2010

I can't speak for reliability since I've only had this drive for about a month. But so far so good. It is fast, requires no software installation, and it's small and sleek. I absolutely love it!
