I have carried this around in my bag on a near daily basis for more than 13 months and it has worked perfectly. I bought it so I wouldn't need to carry my laptop on my daily bike commute - it's much lighter and it means I'm backing up everything daily. Excellent product.
This product arrived and was non-functioning since the first day. The Seagate customer service representative clearly stated to me on the phone as we were troubleshooting that Seagate deliberately re-configured the design from a 2 USB port power system to the single system. Also Seagate had no warranty liability until after the 30 day post purchase time period.I have try'd to email Amazon and the merchant for return postage and re-ordering a new different external harddrive but there has been no response to date.
I use this with my mac and time capsule to back up my computer. It has been two months and no problem
This drive for some stupid reason requires two USB ports to work and comes with bloatware pre-installed which pissed me off. I bought two of these, one died in 3 months and the other died in 5 months, I was not very impressed. I have a Western Digital drive that has been going strong for 4 years and a Maxtor old school drive that recently died after 9 years of use. I also read that alot of Seagate baracuda drives were bricked becasue of botched firmware.im going to avoid Seagate.
They should reduce to one USB port. It requires 2 USB ports to work. Plus, its system (Ceedo) is much too unstable. Most of external hard drives requires only one USB port, due to its conception: to be PRACTICAL. This is not practical at all. It crashes a lot. Hopefully a Ceedo update should fix it.
