5.0 out of 5 stars 2TB Freeagent, November 8, 2009

By	Kerry Dressler (Costa Rica) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was disappointed to see the drive was only rated for PCs but I reformated it for my mac. Works great.. I'll use it for media storage for awhile to make certain there are no problems.. but don't anticipate any. Fast, easy to use, great value.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seagate Or Maxtor?, October 28, 2009

By	Dr.Muni (USA) - See all my reviews

I ran out of storage in my old 500GB Maxtor external drive few months ago, for the last couple of months I was looking around for a better device with full of storage capacity!. A quest I developed to find the next best mega storage drive?. So, recently I visited best buy and Frys Electronics stores, I also visited other stores like office max or office depo without any success to find something reliable for a good price, no luck at all.

Then, searched the internet for good reviews for an external drive. I have to tell you that you will be very disappointed with the available reviews on the internet.

Most of the reviews out there find flaws or problems or unsatisfactory issues on almost all the existing external drives. Mostly personal experiences of customers who bitterly express their views, you can't blame them, because they are right about the external drives.

In the store or online, suppose you find a drive with some satisfactory rating, then to find the one right storage size is a pain, if you indeed find one with good storage manufactured by a well known company, their price is awful?. So very highly priced that you want to run away from the store.

After wasting sometime in all these search activities, I realized, how about Maxtor that I have personal experience in the past, I am still using it. Maxtor to me was just about the perfect external drive, though I used other ones like I-Omega drives but Maxtor was quite satisfactory IMHO. Iomega is a good company, Unfortunately, I could not find the storage size of my interest with IOmega I thought I must try Iomega?. They have only upto 1.5TB but not 2TB.Iomega Prestige 1.5 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive 34474.

Then I thought why not I get the Maxtor storage extended or upgraded to the latest capacity, I found out that Maxtor was bought out and no longer in service. The new company is Seagate in which I had no experience. But, I found a 2TB seagate drive for a great price at Amazon (Amazon affiliated seller store from NJ)?. The same drive is about $50-90 higher than Frys/Best buy is selling price?. I got a Competitive rate and free shipping. I ordered one, received promptly by UPS, it is currently running at my home office.

Simply put it, it is Sleek, fast comes with a good price. Quite good to play around in connecting, installing and downloading the drives into the computer. It is still brand new and just few days old at my desk, thus far, I like it much better than my maxtor One?. I will tell you more about this product in few weeks to months, as I need to follow up with further performance before I say anything. But, for now, I like the competitive price, performance, speed and it is noiseless! Kwl...! Also, no heating issue so far, my Old Maxtor used to have heat if it runs for a long time, let me check this further and update this column here......!.
