Ok, it hooks up easily, thats about the best I can say about it, there is no real instruction manual, its just a hodge podge of what to do, totally disconnected, If you want to spend the time on it, I am sure it will work well, I have neither the time nor the patience to mess around with this, trying to contact Seagate is a waste of time, I really could use this drive, somehow, I did get things downloaded, how, I don’t know.
I really cannot in all honesty say this is a bad product, what is bad is the lack of a logical instruction booklet.
Mine is going back, its of no use to me.

I bought this couple of weeks ago, and I have liked it so far. It hasn’t given me any problem. The use and downloading files in the hard drive was easy. Overall, a good product and I recommend it.

This product is doing everything I wanted it to do,and considering my USB is 1. 1, the device is even faster than I had hoped. Good product!

Drive is not the ‘no brainer’ storage drive I thought it would be. My fault, probably. BUT there is absolutely NO real installation manual to help or troubleshoot with. I was lead to believe it would work as easy as a usb thumb drive, so far not the case. Ceedo software may be my problem?? I too have the disconnect error problem. Annoying authorization popup issues with VISTA. All I wanted to do was store years of pictures safely. BTW the help forum at Seagate website was mostly a list of problems. . . not many solutions. I emailed tech support. . . so far no reply. Maybe I’m generous in giving 3 stars.

After several years of searching, I’ve finally acquired a genuinely portable (not much bigger than my wallet), reasonably large-capacity USB external hard drive for my laptop. I already have a 250GB FreeAgent external HD for my new main system (purchased in August) which has given good service, so when I had the opportunity to buy a FreeAgent Go at a good price, I took it. I haven’t used it that much so far, but overall I’m satisfied. The drive connects very easily to the USB ports on my Thinkpad T30 and my main system, almost as easily as a flash drive, and has, at 80GB, forty times the capacity of my biggest flash drive.
The downside is that the FreeAgent Go has no power source (read: AC adapter), so you need to power the unit through your desktop or laptop system. In my case, this raised a wrinkle because my Thinkpad T30 has no integrated USB 2. 0, only USB 1. 1, so that plugging the drive into the laptop’s existing USB ports will cause the drive to run at USB 1. 1 speed – which is to say, painfully slowly. I had to buy a USB 2. 0 PC Card with power adapter in order to be able to properly use the FreeAgent Go.
Moral: make sure you have adequate power for this drive – or any external HD or other device you intend to add on to your laptop kit – and you’re good to go.
