 Good Product for the price paid May 18, 2008
I bought this couple of weeks ago, and I have liked it so far. It hasn't given me any problem. The use and downloading files in the hard drive was easy. Overall, a good product and I recommend it.

 Died on second use Mar 18, 2008
It was very easy to set up and wrote my 40gigs of backup in maybe 30 minutes (my computer is older). Unfortunately I can't comment on its use after that since the second time I hooked it up, it wouldn't work. The light flashes for a few, then dies and the drive isn't recognized. It was also easy to get through to customer support (the troubleshooter on the website directed me to do this). The company wants me to MAIL it back (with my entire hard drive on there) to them and frankly I am furious right now.
 Re:Seagate 80 GB USB external hard drive Mar 18, 2008
This product is doing everything I wanted it to do,and considering my USB is 1.1, the device is even faster than I had hoped. Good product!

 Too much of a Hodge Podge Mar 07, 2008
Ok, it hooks up easily, thats about the best I can say about it, there is no real instruction manual, its just a hodge podge of what to do, totally disconnected, If you want to spend the time on it, I am sure it will work well, I have neither the time nor the patience to mess around with this, trying to contact Seagate is a waste of time, I really could use this drive, somehow, I did get things downloaded, how, I don't know.
I really cannot in all honesty say this is a bad product, what is bad is the lack of a logical instruction booklet.
Mine is going back, its of no use to me.

No serious problems & as cheap as a much smaller thumb drive Feb 11, 2008
I think this gadget has gotten less favorable user reviews here than it deserves.
Mine came to me as a "closeout" special, so the fact that I paid only 40% or so of the "list price" started me off on the right foot... True, on a per-gig basis you can actually do even better with other Seagate drives... but this one's 80 Gb worked out perfectly for what I wanted to do with it, which was to transfer *reasonable* sized file sets back and forth between home and work. I value the device's wallet-sized case, its lack of a separate wall socket transformer to carry around too, and its extreme ease of use... far more than additional capacity I wouldn't really use. My little 80 gig drive doesn't even get especially warm in operation; can the bigger, faster, more power hungry outboard drives say the same?
Negatives? Well, the drive uses two USB sockets instead of one - one is for power alone and the other supplies both power and data. I try to plug each into a completely separate USB channel, but since I'm not really sure that the USB power supplies in my PCs are also split, I'm not sure that tying up two USB sockets really accomplishes anything. On my old G4 Mac at home, one of my original, otherwise unused USB 1.1 sockets works nicely for the power only source while the drive's data/power plug goes into my USB 2.0 PCI-card upgrade for the highest possible data throughput - and that works great. At work, on a PC, I have to tie up both USB 2.0 sockets at the front of my machine... but so far that hasn't been a real inconvenience.
The Seagate drive comes formatted for Windows and all of its software - about 125 Mb, which Seagate sends on drive itself - is for Windows 2K and up only. I never used any of it - just backed it up to a CD-ROM in case I need it later. The formating stayed, however: Windows at work reads and writes as you'd expect, and under Mac OSX at home (10.4.11 at least) I've had no problems reading the Windows stuff. If you want to write from a Mac, however, either extra software (for the Mac, not the Seagate) is required, or you need to reformat the whole drive - which makes it unusable to Windows. You can't blame the drive for that, though!
Anyway, bottom line: this storage device works. If you need 10 times the capacity of today's biggest 8 Gb thumb drives for about half what those same 8 Gb thumbs presently cost, this is a good solution.
