   You complain too f* …
   You complain too f***ing Much! This is a great drive, and who cares if it uses mini-usb, or has the power supply as the base. This is a great design for photographers who will have external always on, great without power button. If you need a power button, mod a switch onto it. Oh yeah, Mac users don’t know how to do that!!!!

    Power button, …
    Power button, firewire/eSata, slimmer, amazing included software, glow strip on entire drive.

    Bad thing is, the power off is apparently a little tricky, and the glow strip on the entire drive would mean its more likely to over-heat.

    I just got the same one, I ordered it. I am waiting for it in the mail. I got the 500GB desktop model.

    I meant to get the pro model, but I didn’t notice the difference till it was too late.

    I’ve got one as a gift and it’s going back to the store . I’ve found countless negative reviews on it today . Some people like it a lot …but there are so many reports of DOA or failiure after an hour or 2 or loosing it after a couple of days and if one is lucky, it’ll last more than 6 months. The casing design is bad and the heat is not well dissipated.

    with the light …
    with the light staying on, i believe that has to do with the mac, when i use a flash-drive on my macbook, the light still stays on even though its ejected. “ejected” means that the computer is done communicating with the device, so nothing can be lost if you unplug it, but for some reason, macbook still give the usb power to the device

    Appreciate your efforts to overview the Seagate. But I must admit your presentation is to little info, to slowly. You could say U have to say in much less time. Your critique was not well planned or rehearsed. Sorry your out.

    lol. point well made. however most digital cameras use the mini-usb cable, so it’s not going to die. you’re probably not a really, i was just messing around. i got my freeagent 500Gb drive today, i’ll let you know how i get on with it if you like.

    And on how many USB …
    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?
