Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
This review is for the 2TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex model. The 2TB version is not small and portable like the 500GB model. The 2TB version uses a standard desktop size 3.5" HDD, while the 500GB model uses a laptop size 2.5" HDD. The 3.5" HDD will transfer files faster than the 2.5" HDD, but will produce more heat.

My history with Seagate has not been so good. To me and many others, Seagate has a reputation for drives that fail quickly and unexpectedly. Everyone can repair a bad history, but I can't seem to forget Seagate's reputation. But like any bad relationship, things change and I must try to move on.

This Seagate GoFlex external hard drive looks good, really good. It's the kind of design that stands out from the crowd. But... where is the ventilation? All hard drives heat up, so why are their no air vents or fans? This worries me. All the eye-candy in the world won't make up for a burned up hard drive.

The performance... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Seagate can no longer be trusted., December 7, 2010

I didn't want to believe the reviews. I have two Seagates from a few years ago and they work beautifully. I didn't want to believe the many comments here because, well, you never know how carefully people follow directions. So I ordered the 2 Tb Goflex Desk, with the 800 firewire adapter. After copying files to the drive for 2 hours, the computer stopped recognizing it in the middle of a transfer. I suspect the drive overheats. And yes, I had adjusted the settings so the drive would never go into automatic sleep. Thank you, Amazon for making the return/refund process so painless. Back to Western Digital, I guess.

Pros:
1. easy to install
2. easy to use
3. Specific Folders can be selected for backup
4. It turns off and on when computer is turned off and on.

Cons:
1. Software license only allows use with 1 computer
2. Many ads to purchase more software in the bundled software
3. There is a memory leak in the software (version 4.60.0.7252)

I plugged this thing in and it automatically started the software install which was very easy to follow. Once it was done it defaulted to backup my entire computer which was perfect because 2 TB of space if plenty of space to do this for me. The software did have an option to select only specific folders which was nice to know in case I upgrade my pc and have to limit the amount of files for backup.
The software has built in advertisements asking you to try and purchase more of their software. They are easily avoidable, but I'd rather not see them. My favorite part about the backup software bundled... Read more
