  • you PRICK! "ooh it has a mini-USB port" who gives a shit you loser?

  • And on how many USB hard drives do you see the mini-USB connector? I have tons more USB A-B cables than mini-USB laying around, so if the cable dies, then you're SOL. I was just pointing out it was an unusual design feature. If you have so much disdain for this video, there's nothing stopping you from making a review of the FreeAgent on your own. How does this make me a prick?

  • As far as you giving this unit back its absolutely a mistake. Your Ol'drive maybe good but its quite an old technology compared to your seagate desk agent. I guess you should get rid of your Acomdata and use the Seagate FreeAgent. Get a 1TB and you will be happy with the new swappable base.

  • 4) A removable base probably is the only factor which I would agree on. I am sure Seagate too would acknowledge that fact. They did some changes and newer models come with Detachable Base.

  • 3) The 3 prongs over 2 is probably the silliest I have heard from this review. Why would a 5 or 8 watts plastic adapter require 3 prongs with earth? It just makes the adapter large and cumbersome. Let alone the lousy dc connector. Its hard to find a replacement too.

  • 2) Why on earth do you need a switch for External HDD? To corrupt Data? A HDD has to be gracefully switched off and this is part of the reason why a switch is elliminated. Seagate cares for your data integrity. You cant blame them for that. The software can shutoff the drive after flushing in data over a present idle time.

  • 1) Mini usb is an advancement over the standard USB downstream connector. This is more like a newer interface. Well micro is even newer ! So these things keep shrinking and I dont understand why people blame for such silly things

  • This is absolutely a Noob Review. The Reasons are explained below.

    

  • My drive makes a couple little clicks whenever I have not accessed it for a few minutes. Is this normal?

  • You frakkin stink at making videos. Get a frakkin tripod you loser. Also, while these drives do suck, you are an idiot.

  • It does have a power on/off switch. -.-'

    It's on the front of it, in the right part.
