Review: Simple External Drive - Setup of this drive is straight forward; power and USB. The USB cable uses the (now) standard USB 3.0 plug. The drive comes with a base that connect to the power and USB cables, the drive then sits on top of. This is a cool little bonus, but probably only useful if you have multiple of these drives. The base has a power light, and four capacity LEDs that show how full the drive is. On the software side of things, this drive behaves exactly as expected. Power it up, wait 5 seconds, access drive through my computer. It is simple and does not require any proprietary software. Transfer speeds are fast. Over USB 3.0, it reads and writes at about 130 MB/s. (These were simply file transfers between this drive and a SSD, nothing fancy). I recommend this drive, nothing unusual about it. Fast transfer rates.
Review: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 2TB USB 3.0 External HDD - The hardware is great. Easy to hook up and configure. It's actually plug & play. The accompanying Memeo software on the other hand I have mixed feelings about. The idea of automatic backups and automatic syncs I like. But I find the software to be way too aggressive at it's job. It'll try to sync an existing file right after I open it and start making changes. This causes the file to freeze while it's being synced. This really gets frustrating in Quicken when its trying to repaint the screen and it freezes when it's blank or you're typing away and look up to see nothing you've typed. The auto-back up is the same, it just takes off on it's own. Now you can pause the syncs and auto-backup, but for some reason they eventually get released somehow and they're back at it again. The hardware I'd rate a 5 and the software a 2.5.

### ⭐⭐ Worried about Product being hold for REVIEW by Amazon
*by J***G on June 15, 2011*

3 Weeks ago I bought 2 of this Seagate Goflex Desk Drives 2TB USB3.0, which I already received under a good time. I did a good research on all the possibilities for my budget for this kind of drives, and this seemed much better option that the other many brands, regarding quality, specs and price. The one thing that seemed a main CON, was the sleeping feature, but Seagate staff has posted many replies with instructions on how to solve this, so i am not worried by this... BUT!, i was about to buy 4 more a few days ago, when suddenly this item was TEMPORARILY no longer AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON, and Amazon wrote a MESSAGE in this product Page saying something like "ITEM UNDER REVIEW", vaguely explaining "that lately many customers have complained about something in the product, they gave like 3 generic possible issues, and they mentioned that they will soon correct this..." something like that.... I wrote to them in customer service, I got a quick response from Amazon, but their explanation was vague, and the problem is that i didn't understand what was the exact issue that this item had. Now they have it available again, and the message is gone, but to tell you the truth i am having second thoughts to buy the 4 additional SEAGATE Units because of this issue. Unless i got an exact explanation on that particular problem, i will had to go for the WD or more likely a LACIE. The thing is that i have received my 2 drives, but i have been extremely busy and with no time to install them and test them thoroughly, so i don't know yet if they work OK or not. But besides that i would like to know if the Issue that Amazon had with this item was something that could be noted under certain particular situations or environments, or is it just that they had a major fault? I might discover if my 2 drives have the issue mentioned, but perhaps it doesn't comes up until a certain time. I will Update my comment after i test them, or even better if another Customer that knows about this issue can comment on it. Regards.
