According to the box’s outside, it’s Plug and Play. So you fork over the cash, take it home, and open the box. Other than the drive itself, you find nothing but a small, multi-fold pamphlet that hypes the product but tells you zilch about setting it up. Next, you explore the Seagate website looking for set-up guidance. What a maze! Increasingly frustrated, you phone Seagate Tech Support (M-F, day hours only mind you), you get put on hold, and when you eventually connect, you get someone who is not that familiar with this particulalr product (yup, happened to me twice in 2 successive days). One technician told me to download “Disk Wizard” from the Seagate site, and follow its menu (another maze). Next day, a 2nd technician (whose command of the English language was not that good) advised NOT to use “Disk Wizard”, but to use a Microsoft application instead (its name started with an “M”)– for which he would email me the link within minutes. That was three days ago and I’m still awaiting his email. In sum, I have a handsome piece of hardware sitting next to my PC that is not user-friendly because the manufacturer has not provided this customer with step-wise guidance for its set-up and use. Oh, BTW — neither the box nor the multi-fold pamphlet will tell you this, but the Free Agent cannot be employed to perform automatic backup. At least that’s what I was told by one Seagate technician. My advice re: the Free Agent: caveat emptor!

Lori is doing her Masters and this is a great addition to her ability to save her projects without using up all the memory on her hard drive.

This external hard drive is sure good looking and compact. It was a real breeze to have it installed and have it going. The copying is done with good speed. So far I am happy I bought it.

The FreeAgent 500GB External Hard Drive is massive. It is extremely easy to set up and runs seamlessly with the Vista Backup system.
