For Starters: Since I use Both Mac & PC, I can 1000% say that it works on both these operating systems. Some customers had issues with the drive going into sleep mode after 10 mins or so. Well, the copying process does not stop, just because the drive has gone into SLEEP mode. You can take this SLEEP feature off by: Process 1: Downloading a Free Seagate Manager program available on the Seagate website. (I did not do this, I used process 2, described next) OR Process 2: Formatting the drive and remove the pre-installed Seagate software. Then the drive will NOT go to SLEEP Mode. How to Format a Drive in Windows: Plug the Drive --> Go to My Computer --> Right click on the Seagate icon--> Click "Format" How to Format a Drive in Mac 10.4 or...

Large capacity in a small form factor, 2. The ability to power/access it from a single USB port, 3. It was on sale at Amazon for under $70. I started using it on my laptop when it arrived yesterday and was impressed: small, and it worked well with the short standard mini-USB cable. Then last night I plugged it in to my desktop and went to transfer over my 400 GB movie directory. It kept failing after about 10 seconds, at which time Windows 7 would report that I had just attached it. My first thought was it was due to the "sleep" utility, so I downloaded and installed the Free Agent tool from Seagate and set the timeout to Never. Didn't make any difference. I then used the test tool in the utility software and the it reported a drive failure at about 8%, and said I should contact Seagate for an RMA. All my other small external drives (except for an ancient 30 GB) need a splitter USB cable: one end connects to the... Read more |
