Comments about Seagate 500GB Expansion™ External Hard Drive:

Horrible reliability. Started clicking on 3rd day and failed the same day, taking 100GB of my data with it!

Make sure don't use this as your primary backup. Too plasticky and flimsy construction.

Comments about Seagate 500GB Expansion™ External Hard Drive:

I love this little drive. It holds anything and everything I have and being as mobile as I am, it goes with me everywhere and I don't have to worry about a power source. The activity light is subtle which limits the distraction factor and it makes little to no noise whatsoever.

The Seagate software is good and if it is not needed, very easily removed from the drive. I might buy more of these for my additional computers.
