Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Seagate FreeAgent Desk 2 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive ST320005FDA2E1-RK (Silver)
Customer Review: So far so ... perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I read some of the comments about the older (smaller) models (1TB, 1.5TB), and there were several bad reviews particularly about the 1.5TB hard drive. Well, there were many good ones too, but of course statements like "lasted only 2 weeks", "could not access my data anymore" and so on are kind of alarming.
Anyway, because I have already 2 old Maxtor external hard drives (250 and 300 GB), and they accompanied me successfully now during the past 6-8 years even when moving from Europe to USA, from USA back to Europe and then back to USA again, and because I found the listed price to be very convincing to try, I ordered this new Seagate 2TB external hard drive end of December 2009.
It arrived quickly and is working absolutely reliably, quietly and absolutely satisfyingly for me.
I set the power management to shut it off after 3 minutes idle time (as it was also for the older ones). So, you can imagine, I am not sending huge amounts of data in a short period of time.
But I copied about 300GB of data to it right away. Not a problem.
And generally the connected computer (and others on my private network using the shared drives) is on continuously mostly during the day.
Everything is still working. There are no problems connecting after system reboots, no strange clicking sounds, no lost data (yet - knock, knock, knock).
It was totally easy to install, I guess I won't need the installed SW, my daughter likes particularly its "cool" design, and it gave me so far only the best impression possible.
A great purchase - so far.
Based on the other mentioned reviews, of course I am looking also forward to mid and long term experiences hoping the drive will continue serving me as well as it does now.
Only negative comment : the "revival" period from the idle state back to active state takes about 15 seconds (about 5 seconds longer than the old Maxtor units).
