I purchased this Seagate FreeAgent hard drive two weeks ago and love the ease of using it. It's really plug and play, especially when I use Windows Vista backup program. I like the speed of the 2.0 usb connection and I did not receive any errors while backing up my files as I previously did with Western Digital backup drives.

This is a very good technical device that is geared towards the non-techie user. A simple setup manual comes with the drive, and honestly, you really don't even need the manual.

In the past I have lost many files from hard drive crashes and other methods of backing up my files (dvds, cds, the old 3 1/2" disks were archaic to me. I needed a lot of them because I have many files.

I know Seagate makes 500GB drives but the 250GB drive has enough memory for my needs. I really have not discovered any downside except there isn't a power save feature. You really should unplug the USB and the power supply according to customer service. So far, I'm very happy with it.
