Gravy
2010-02-14This drive was pure gravy to install & set up.
The only problem I've had was when I had too many USB storage devices connected at one time. I installed a separate PCI USB card and it's been solid as Sears ever since. My only regret is that I didn't buy one with more storage.
Horrible External Hard Drive Great Bookend
2010-01-01My troubles with this device are never ending! Delayed write failures were the start from there on it was corrupted data, lost data and occasionally just switching off. After some months I could tolerate its horrible yellow glowing smirk no more and it found a new use as a very expensive bookend.
What's even more annoying than the poor quality of this product is the total "couldn't care a less" attitude of the manufacturer. They have numerous complaints over the issues with this product. Do you think they've bothered to recall or provide a fix? No. You get told to edit your registry, reboot your machine and other such "magical" cures.
Don't buy this unless, of course, you're after a rather fancy bookend.
Seagate Ext. 250GB = Thumbs Down
2009-10-14Seagate ST302504FDA1E1-RK FreeAgent Desktop 250 GB 3.5" USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
Thumbs down... tired of wasting time on this drive. It does not talk to Dell BIOS and falls asleep almost immediately. When you unplug it, it corrupts the drive. Thanks guys.
Don't bother - Buyer Beware!
2009-09-04I first bought my FreeAgent Desktop 250GB about 2 years ago. It was purchased so I could easily backup a couple of machines that I own. It was great to setup and speed seemed pretty good. I went to run another backup months later and it started failing well into the backup. Seagate support was great and I arranged an RMA online and new one was delivered from Singapore within 2 weeks (probably closer to one)...that was a year ago. I was using the drive about a month ago to copy files off my PVR and everything went swimmingly! I tried backing up a laptop yesterday as the lappy was heading in for repair and exactly the same symptoms as last time. I have another RMA arranged and fingers crossed I get a good one next time. In the meantime I'll be getting a Western Digital 500GB SATA drive for my PC and performing all backups to it. Ironically the drives I'm backing up have never failed, unlike the FreeAgent.
Exceptional
2009-06-02I have had this item for close to 2 year without a single problem. I use it as an external harddrive. All my music, videos, pictures, docuemnts, and software are all stored on this drive. No need for me to back-up as I save everything to this drive. It keeps my PC running smoothly.
I also have to drive shared so that all three of my PC use this drive for storage I have so many files and I still have over 175 GB of space left.
I will get another one to back up this one just to be safe.
I highly Recommend.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me?
Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents.

Home user
The home user demands a lot from a printer. The device must tackle everything from a book report to a newsletter to the occasional snapshot--all without breaking the budget. This is why for most home users, the best choice is a versatile and affordable printer, such as a small-office/home-office color ...
Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc.
There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder.
Technology
It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
