Straight out of the box, impressions were good. The newer generation drive offers a sleeker high gloss alternative to the previous Seagate Desk models. The drive comes equipped with a USB 3.0 base dock, which features five white LEDs on the front to illustrate power as well as indicate the capacity used on the drive in 25% increments. In addition, it also comes with the AC power adapter and a 4 foot USB 3.0 cord, which is significantly more convenient than the 1 1/2 foot cords that were supplied with my 1TB Seagate GoFlex Ultra Portable Drives.Right out of the box I plugged in to my Windows 7 laptop, had the drivers automatically installed, and was off and running in about 30 seconds. Simple enough. Actual available space on the drive (due to conversion) is about 3.63 TB, which was an expected reduction.. but is worth noting for...

But I've had a lot of very good experiences with Seagate, so I bought it. I'm glad I did.The build quality is nice. The enclosure is actually really slick. I do prefer the look of a thin, USB powered, 2.5" external, but in the world of 3.5" drives this is total design win. It performs about as expected, if not better. I'm currently still using USB 2.0, but the initial burst on this thing is crazy high, and it (very) gradually slows down to my typical transfer rate. This is more true with a single large file than many small files. But its overall performance has me really excited about installing a USB 3.0 card in my system. The Bad? Well, I bought this to be a media drive, and it "sleeps" after a relatively short period of inactivity. I want my...

I had to format it using disk utility on my Mac (which took about 5 minutes). Contrary to other reviews posted, this is not a big deal. It works with Mac OS X just fine. I could not find any written literature either on the box or in the instructions stating the speed of the drive. After running diagnostic tests, this drive appears to be spinning at 7200 rpm and has 64 mb cache consistent with other reviews. The drive uses 5 platters, 800 gb each. It runs quietly and has a great sleek design. The price is great too. When I bought mine, I paid $220 ($55/terabyte) for it. In the past week, the price dropped to $198 (less than $50/terabyte!! I would highly recommend this drive to anyone looking for a large capacity backup storage drive. |
