    ...was created when an employee put files from a PC on it, and I needed to move them to my MacBook (it is why I bought it in the first place. Apparently she formatted it for a PC, and so I couldn't use it for the Mac. Waste of money for the use I required.

    I have to look into it further; but, so far the product has not worked as I thought it would, and as the saleswoman at Best Buy told me it would. I simply want to download my music collection onto the device and load it on to a new computer. So far, nada. I'm not a geek, but expected it to be more user friendly and work.

    I bought this drive less than 6 months ago. I take a lot of photos and needed a place to store my RAW files since my computer's hard drive space is limited. 2 TB seemed like a good size to get me through another year or so. The problem is that today, my hard drive decided to take a dump. Poof. Won't mount. Can't read. There goes all my photos and videos for the last 6 months. Of course I have photos backed up. But not the RAW files. And the hard drive decided to take a dump right after I moved about 800 photos from my camera but BEFORE I could back them up. So all my photos and video files from yesterday's shoot are GONE. I guess it goes without saying that I'll never buy another Seagate drive again. Yes, the drive is under warranty and they will replace it but they won't do anything to help retrieve the lost data. They tell you to back up your hard drive before submitting it for replacement. Well, if it were possible to access data and back it up, you probably wouldn't be needing to replace it. Meanwhile, I have Western Digital drive that's a few years old and is still humming along with no issues. Definitely avoid Seagate at all costs.
