1 of 5 Loser Tuesday, September 30, 2008
A Customer from Wichita, KS
I bought this FreeAgent to sync with my computer. Turns out it does not sync at all. I called Seagate and all the software will do is backup files from the computer to the FreeAgent. If one adds a file to the FreeAgent from another source the software does not sync the file up to the computer. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 No problems so far. Friday, June 13, 2008
Chris from New York, NY
Contrary to one of the previous reviewers, I rarely trust the software packaged with these types of drives since they sometimes contain bugs / viruses. So, the first step was to reformat before sticking important data on it.
Thus far, have not had any problems with the unit. As common with most external drives that do not require a separate power source, this will require the use of 2 USB ports (small price to pay for not having to fish around for another outlet). Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Needs 2 USB ports Friday, March 14, 2008
A Customer from Fair Play, SC
Nice size and weight, but needs 2 USB ports - one for power and one or data. The Technical Specs don't tell you that. My MacBook Pro has 2 USB post - one on the left and one on the right. So without a USB Hub, I use up all my ports with this Seagate.
Would have been nice to know before I purchased the drive. Was this review helpful?
