The good: The Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Ultra-portable offers great flexibility, USB 3.0, and a large amount of storage. It also works with both Macs and PCs without having to be reformatted.
The bad: The GoFlex Ultra's USB 3.0 performance could be better and the drive doesn't include a USB 3.0 add-in card for computers that don't yet have this connection.
The bottom line: Even with the slightly low USB 3.0 performance, the GoFlex Ultra still makes an excellent portable external hard drive for people who need to expand their computer's storage.
Cons: Drive failed without warning, just starting clicking with 1TB of data lost. The drive was stationary on table so can't understand why it would just become unusable.
Summary: I have 3 other Goflex drives which I am now worried about. I understand drives fail but just frustrated that it was out of the blue.

Pros: It makes cool noises like, click and pop and screechhh!
Cons: First fail in two week of purchase. Seagate sent me a new one. Second fail produced unrecoverable data!!! Seagate's solution? Sorry for your loss, we can send you a new POS in two weeks. BTW it's going to cost you $10 shipping. F*&# YOU SEAGATE!
Summary: Buy this drive for an ex-wife or someone you hate.

Pros: Portability: I purchased this device specifically because of the portability and my needs. I have two desktop and one laptop computers, all Mac, and I am often out in the field and needed a portable hard drive.
Cons: Durability: Of all the external Hard Drives I've purchased in the past, this is the first time one has failed in less than 6 months! This is also my first Seagate product, it was on sale at Office Max, now I know why.
Summary: Tech support has been kind, but a little condescending, I have over 30 years computer experience, so I know how to take care of my equipment.

I feel my photographic data has been hijacked. The last time I talked with Seagate Tech Support, they offered to replace my device, but if I want my data back, it will cost $500 to $1500 for data recovery services.
In my opinion, this company is not standing by their product.
