They are tiny, use power via the USB connection and I've got a half dozen of them and only recently had issues with one which I think is a combo of my impatience and the piece of crap case I wasted money on when getting a new desktop set up (USB issue - not 'the drive' - had the my book issues with old case as well). If that isn't going to be your use, they might not be bad, but I'd recommend spending not much more (unless you've found an amazing deal on them) and getting a couple of My Passport drives instead. The lovely data cyclical whatever error which I think has more to do with the connection with your desktop than the drive inside the enclosure (used both firewire & usb). > I had lots of issues moving large amounts of data to/from the drives and lost images in the process. I love them, I consider them a great buy!īoston | MA | USA | Posted: 2:26 AM on 05.28.09 I have heard people complain about having problems with these, but I never have. I love them, I have never had any problems, they are 18, 12, and four months old.

Steven Mullensky, Photographer, Photo Editor The only safe thing is a redundant setup, and there are even caveats with that. Hard drives are like machines and they will fail eventually. > This is like asking if a certain brand has never broken down. > Just had a 500g one crash on me.I replaced all of them with different models. > For a few years or more I have bought nothing but Seagate and have never had a failure.Ĭollege Station | TX | USA | Posted: 9:44 PM on 05.27.09 Palm Springs | CA | USA | Posted: 9:44 PM on 05.27.09 They work okay, but the speed and reliability just aren't up to the task.
