This review is from: Seagate Goflex 2TB Desk 3.5-inch USB 3.0 External HDD - Black (Accessory) I needed a large capacity external disk drive to save copies of my files, music and videos. My plan is to save data and unplug the external drive rather than have it permanently connected to the computer. There is onboard software but i don't want to use that either, all i want to do is back up files in case of unforeseen circumstances like the computer's drive malfunctioning or theft.The drive i received from amazon is the same model but differs from the illustration. It has a nice solid feel and is whisper quiet in operation. The finish is a deep gloss black plastic, it does get warm to the touch in use but not excessively. There are two plug options, a two pin or standard uk three pin. I'm using it in USB 2.0 mode as my motherboard doesn't have USB 3.O. Overall, an essential purchase i would say as it is only when data is lost that people realise the value of it. With the Seagate i'll be able to recover from disaster if the worst happens and in my experience, things do go...

This review is from: Seagate Goflex 2TB Desk 3.5-inch USB 3.0 External HDD - Black (Accessory) Good quality genuinely plug n go product at a reasonable price for the capacity. Pre-installed software is easily deleted if you don't need it and there are no backwards-compatibility problems if you don't have USB 3.0 and/or are still running Windows XP. Just one disappointment: unlike other external HDDs I've seen (and the 2 others I own) this drive doesn't have an on/off switch, which means it has to be plugged and unplugged to switch it on and off... which is a nuisance. |
