Title: Go for Western Digital Instead
Review: I bought this external hard drive recently to back up videos I regularly transfer from my DVR (TiVo). It never worked very well. It had a lot of trouble connecting or being detected by my computer. It usually took about three or four tries to get the FreeAgent and my relatively new HP computer to communicate.The Seagate finished off my patience and my willingness to ever own Seagate materials again after the drive effectively died and would not allow ANY computer I own to see it. It seemed like the drive had been contacted by a major magnet, but there is none like that anywhere in my house. I lost over 300 hours of videos and files I use for my job.I replaced this drive with a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition external hard drive. It works flawlessly and is ALWAYS detected by my computer as soon as it is connected.
