Easy to setup, took me about 5 minutes. It works on it's own and it is easy to find files quickly. My computer runs much fast now that all of my videos and pics are on this system.

Comments about Seagate FreeAgent™ 1.5TB Desktop External Hard Drive:

Doesn't list as woking with Mac but it works great after you format it. The backup software is for a PC so you won't be able to use that. It can be used vertically or horizontally. I have mine placed flat under and attached to a time capsule which expands my network backup capacity from 500Gb's to 2 Tera bites.

I purchased the product when one of my drives was going bad and everything needed to be backed up quickly. It set up very quickly and easily. The backup was very fast, saving many items which had recently been added or revised. I work at home and this really came through for me.
