Stylish, quiet, easy to use drive.
This review is from: Seagate 500GB Expansion Portable USB 2.0 Hard Drive (Electronics) Really impressed so far, no problems at all. The fact it runs of the USB makes it very easy to carry around and transfer files around the house, and the 500GB storage is ample for most users. I am currently using this with TimeMachine on the Mac and have no problems what so ever. Very pleased.

A handy hard drive without any fuss
This review is from: Seagate Expansions 320GB External Portable USB 2.0 Hard Drive - Black (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?) This is a simple to use external hard drive without any fuss. It has a sleek piano black case which is about the size of a small notepad, and comes complete with a short USB lead to connect to your computer. Thats it. There's no fancy software supplied with it either - the files...

Brilliant little external hard drive!
This review is from: Seagate Expansions 250GB External Portable USB 2.0 Hard Drive - Black (Electronics) My purchase arrived in 24 hours. It performes exactly as I hoped and worked straight out of the box, as soon as I plugged it in by the single USB2 cable provided. As has been said previously, you might find this cable a little on the short side but replacing it with another - say 1 metre long - is both very inexpensive and easy, if that's what you want to do. The drive per...

Worked great....until it died
Having received this product as a christmas present last year I was pleasantly surprised at the build quality, general user- friendly traits and how quiet it was. Unfortunately 11 months on the hard drive accidentally disconnected from my computer and when i tried to plug it back in the computer no longer recognised it. The lights are lit on the hard drive itself and it makes the same sound whirring sound but theres no life to be had from it. After looking on the internet it quickly ...

A superb USB external hard drive from Seagate
This review is from: Seagate Expansions 250GB External Portable USB 2.0 Hard Drive - Black (Electronics) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?) I've always found Seagate internal hard drives to be of a very high build quality so I had high hopes for this 250Gb external unit, and it didn't disappoint.Everything about this drive is straightforward and no-nonsense, even the packaging wasn't overly crammed with p...

For Mac Users - yes it does work
This review is from: Seagate 500GB Expansion Portable USB 2.0 Hard Drive (Electronics) For any Mac users in doubt: this comes with lots of Windows-compatible icons on the box and NO hint at Mac compatibility but the truth is that it absolutely is more than compatible with your Mac. Just plug it in, launch Disk Utility and re-format as Mac OS extended. It takes all of 5 seconds. It's fast, and it looks beautiful too. Just do it.

best priced portable hard drive
This review is from: Seagate 500GB Expansion Portable USB 2.0 Hard Drive (Electronics) Not merely an external hard drive, this is designed to be carried about. Does what it says. No complaints. Doesn't need any external power, just the usb cable.

Seagate 500GB USB HD
Not at all pleased with this item or aftersales service from Seagate. The drive froze and could not be reactivated after only minimal usage. I contacted Amazon they said it would be better to get in touch with Seagate, this involved registering on their website and downloading a diagnostic tool, this I did and it confirmed what I already knew, the drive was faulty. This is the frustrating part, I found it was impossible to return the item to Seagate even though I had a return number, their websi...
