Seagate Technology 200 GB USB 2.0 and FireWire External Drive ( ST3200823A-RK )
worthless on the mac
I gave two of these drives a chance. Tried the first one for 3 months, then returned it to Seagate for a 2nd drive under warranty for another 3. Both were bad experiences. Physically the drive seemed fine, however, the drive would mysteriously disappear and unmount in the middle of backups, or wouldn't even show up upon system restart. Bizzare. Something really wrong with Seagate's Firewire interfaces I suspect. I can't speak to how well, or poor this drive works on a Windows system with USB. <br /> <br />I read the negative reviews prior to buying mine, and said \\"must have been isolated incidents\\"; I should have listened up front, and avoided this drive.
