Seagate FreeAgent 500gb External HD

Post by Mike »

One of my Birthday Pressies this year for my birthday was a Seagate FreeAgent 500gb external hard drive so I can back up my photo's, music and hard drive for the computer. I don't think I have ever had a hard disk failure that has caused a problem, however, there is a big chance there and it is quite a risk. Especially as photographs are becoming more and more digital based.

The Seagate come will all the installation software on the drive itself - the mac recognised the drive in about 2seconds and automatically set it up with Time Machine in about a minute. I did not need to run the mac installation recommended by the Manufacturer. Time machine asked to erase the drive (format it to the mac format) to be used so I copied the factory settings onto the computer hard disk first.

It is working very well, is small, discrete and has a nice glowing yellow access bar. Very cool. Ease of set up and initial reactions? 5s hopefully it will live up to its 5 year guarantee! :-D
