3.0 out of 5 stars Works OK, but annoyed by these things..., September 15, 2009

By	M. Christiansen (Plano, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Seagate 320 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST903204EXA101-RK (Black) (Electronics)

I have been using for about a week and found that:
1. It doesn't work with one of my micro USB cables (a cable that work fine with other devices).
2. It goes into standby after 5 min. which is annoying when saving a document and waiting for it to spin back up.
Otherwise its a nice device for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars slick little drive, great performance so far, October 16, 2009

By	Mark Gullickson "boomstick" (los angeles, ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

this is a nifty little drive, replacing my 80gig portable hard drive i've been taking on business trips. after grabbing a seagate 1TB drive and being surprised at how quiet is was, this is just as quiet. i double partitioned it into W:Work and P:Play drives, seems fast so far, no problems with copying gigs of video. i really like the slick design, slides into my bag's pocket easily, no external power supply, just the one micro USB cable. agreed with one of the other reviewers on the micro-usb inclusion instead of the more standard mini, but that's really the only gripe i have. 500gig, sleek and slick. nice drive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Travel!, October 19, 2009

By	World Travelista (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I travel often and needed something portable that would hold all my photos, music, and also to be a good backup for my personal and business laptops.
This is the perfect size; it's small, lightweight and barely takes up any room.
Also it is a very quiet drive, I barely hear it.
Set-up was so easy I thought I was missing something. Ha! It's truly USB plug and play - -no need for any software or anything.
