5.0 out of 5 stars
Delivered today so First Impressions. 2YEARS LATER DEAD!!,
This review is from: Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1 TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
So here goes ,
1. Amazon delivered this item 2 days earlier than stated! The cheek of them free delivery and fast too! Delivered by Royal Mail no problems there either. 2. I have had a Seagate Freeagent Desktop 500gb since September without problems(touch wood) and due to this decided to go Seagate again with the 5 year warranty as insurance. The transfer rates are much quicker, the drive took minutes to set up on my PC. I am currently copying 200gb of video onto the drive with an estimated time of 2hours 35minutes. This drive is much faster and better looking than the 500gb so I hope it performs as well! 14/2/09 Still going well up to 500gb filled so will be looking to buy a second drive soon ,probably another of the same barring major problems or price drops! Top marks so far. 3/11/2010 Well just over two years and drive has died, no clicking just dead drive spins and thats it!

EXTREMELY high failure rates-AVOID!,

This review is from: Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1 TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
Simply google "Seagate barracuda 1TB faults" to learn of the huge issue with these drives...you will find scores of critical articles from most of the tech press as well as thousands from affected customers.
My drive died and I lost all my data after a few days with the same "self-bricking" issue whereby your data becomes inaccessible. Spoke with a lovely Seagate lady in California who inadvertently confirmed that it is the same flawed 1TB and 1.5TB drives that are used in these Freeagent series of external drives. Worse still the firmware update can't be applied to the external drives as the enclosure has to be opened, voiding the warranty. Seagate won't issue a product recall saying the Firmware update fixes current known problems on the internal drives-BUT THE UPDATE CAN'T BE APPLIED TO THESE EXTERNAL DRIVES AND THEY ARE THE SAME DRIVES, JUST IN AN EXTERNAL HOUSING SO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE UNEASY SO LONG AS YOU USE IT WAITING FOR IT TO FAIL. If you RMA to Seagate they will send a refurbished (and probably faulty according to reviews) drive back. All your data will be lost. Seagate will not provide free data recovery services and this is very costly. You can only use Seagate's expensive offering as using any other company will void the warranty. Seagate also reduced the warranty (see their website) on all non-retail pack drives in early Jan '09 to 3 years from 5 (read into that what you will re confidence in their products!) The warranty on OEM drives is just 1yr. I informed Amazon re the false warranty length information on some of their pages but they have done nothing.

Perfect so far,

This review is from: Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1 TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I bought one of these at Xmas 08. Been using it weekly all year without any mishap or niggle. When I connect it to my pc, it gets found quickly (unusual for Vista) and within seconds I'm transferring files. I'm looking at this product and its reviews because I want to get another one. My experience so far: Perfect.
