 Spend more, the only thing you are buying is a hassle! July 28, 2010
timers
Bought this drive as it was the cheapest option. Then found out the data transfer was INCREDIBLY SLOW and the drive makes a constant loud clicking noise.
Checked on the internet, and it seems almost everyone with one of these drives experiences this issue, before the drive inevitably fails in a couple months.
Now I have to deal with returning it....
 Made in worst manufacturing facllity July 25, 2010
Ashot Khachatryan (Milpitas, CA USA)
It is larger than you can imagine looking on the picture. Heavy - contains the regular HDD inside. Speed and PnP are good, if works.
After a couple of days it stopped working. The box is almost impossible to open. When I opened it, I found the usual HDD and a controller for USB connection. Investigation showed that HDD controller and the USB controller have bad soldering in some places. Defective controller was replaced, disk is wiped and the capacity is less now. So, I spent $110 (with 2 day delivery) + $33 on repair and own less than 1.5TB HDD.
I was "killed" by the manufacturing defects. So, the producer of this device needs to change the manufacturer for its devices.
Again, the HDD controller itself had bad soldering, the USB controller with the power source had the same defects.
For the future: If you want to buy really portable device, it costs much more, unless it has no usual HDD inside like this product. Portable HDDs cost much more.

Don't Trust This Drive July 18, 2010
Nick
Didn't buy this on Amazon... thank god I can return it in person tomorrow instead of shipping it away.
First time plugging it in, CLICK CLICK CLICK of death. The R/W heads were clicking and the drive was making some odd powering up noises.
I immediately unplugged, waited for the platters to stop, and plugged back in. No more clicking, and I could connect to my PC. I transferred a few files over for testing and let it sit.
After 24 hours of having it on and playing around with file transferring:
- the clicking returns and goes, when transferring and just idling;
- the drive disconnects itself, and then reconnects itself at random intervals;
- file transferring stops randomly during transfers. Sometimes it continues and sometimes it does not.
I have 2 LaCie USB2.0 externals, a Maxtor USB2.0 external, and a Seagate FlexAgent GoFlex portble USB2.0 connected and working 100% perfectly.
NOW I decide to look up other reviews online, and it seems I'm not the only one having these problems. I'm going to get a Seagate GoFlex instead, same price but with a speedier platter speed, upgradeable to USB3.0, and without the reliability problems reported by ALL SIZES of this model.
 1.5tb seagate expansion drive July 12, 2010
Raymond (Danbury, CT, US)
i have a total of 7 expansion drives.i recommend Seagate Go for game play and videos even storage but use the seagate expansion 1.5tb as a backup to save everything in case a smaller drive ever crashes.only negative about the expansion drive is uses a separate power source and sometimes reading or watching video clicks and the video freezes for a moment where the smaller 500g seagate gos never have this happen.so i use it for backup.still a good drive though.i use smaller drives like 250 for game play so i keep the main pc very clean and plug in what i want to use at that time.
