FreeAgent Desktop 500GB - 491mb in 25 seconds

FINAL UPDATE;
HARD DRIVE RECIVED ERROR, AND IS NOW USELESS. 120 GB'S OF DATA IS NOW GONE.

UPDATE;
Found out that
when you sync your PSP to your PC, it loses the Seagate's Drive connection, making anything on your drive un-accessable untill you unplug your PSP, and then reset your drive. [Reset; as in unplug mini USB at back of drive, and plug back in]

Transfering 491mb's in less then 30 seconds. approx. 25 seconds.

Not bad, but it could be faster..

My Seagate Freeagent Desktop 500GB model, being put to the test.

Says up to 480mb/s, this was quite a bit slower. ;)

Still, a great drive for what I use it for.

I have had no problems with the drive, having it for a couple of months now

so wait it failed and doesn't work anymore?

Well the drive received an error. When you plug it into a PC it shuts down the PC.

The drive technicly works, but is impossible to use. lol It was covered under the VERY limited Seagate warranty. But I still have to pay nearly 30$ to ship it to Seagate. They don't repair the drive, nor do the recover the data (for free). The simply send you another drive, once they recieve your drive.

The drive they send you could be a used, repaired, or refurbished drive.

that's pretty lame. =\ good thing i didn't buy one. i was going to get a 1TB one haha...

[DJPixcell]

lol i meant to get the pro, i would have been slightly more happy with that.

For some reason, with the plastic casing, i just knew something would go wrong with this drive.

Lol and it completly freaked me out that almost 4 days after DEUCEcast had wrote that comment bellow, my drive crashed. Super freaky.

Just wait a couple more months... This hard-drive with fail in connectivity, thus losing all access to all of your data. I pray this does not happen to you, but it seems to be a very common issue with it's faulty enclosure.

[DJPixcell]

that makes me feel safe

drgold2000,

You say that thanks to some guy named John you know how to recover your data if it fails. I'm from Australia and my drive just failed and i've lost everything, my computer just won't read the drive anymore, but the power still works. It does make some clicking noises now. Can you tell me how to get the data off it or how to get in contact with John for some support?

Please and thankyou.

[drgold2000]

Worked fine for me and neither of my 2 have failed but if they do, then I know how to access the drive and get the data off of it FREE! Thanks, John, San Antonio

[drgold2000]

Fine drive ... but know how to get your data off of it by taking it apart ... this is a great video on how to do it ... others say you do not have to remove the base but separate the shell ... John San Antonio

[drgold2000]

Nice ... do not know if you have to take the bottom off but a nice video on how to do it. My 3 screws were of such poor quality that only 2 would go back in ... Ha! John San Antonio
