Great HDD for expanding my DirecTV HD DVR.......2007-12-31
Combined with a ESATA cable, this 750 GB HDD effectively replaces the DirecTV HD DVR's internal HDD (250 GB) in terms of memory usage. Triples the original recording capacity on my DVR; can't beat that.
Works with DirecTV HR-20 to expand space.......2007-12-31
After reading about expanding the storage space for my DirecTV HD DVR, I purchased one of these units along with a PNY e-SATA cable. Note: This unit comes with a USB cable, but NOT an e-SATA cable. There is a SIIG Serial ATA external cable availble here on Amazon that others have used successfully too....search using SIIG Serial ATA external cable - 3.3 ft ( CB-SA0111-S1 )
The combination worked perfectly. I now have three times the storage capacity on my DVR than I did before the upgrade.
For those that are curious, here's how I made it work.
1. Power down the DVR. Unplug it from the wall.
2. Connect the NOT included e-SATA cable to the back of the
3. Plug in the new Seagate and wait a minute.
4. When the new Seagate has been up and spinning for a minute or so, plug in the DirecTV DVR.
5. Wait while the DVR formats the new drive and then downloads all the needed software from the satellite.
6. Note, step 5 takes a good 5-10 minutes. You will have a blank screen for a few minutes while I assume the system is formatting the new Free Agent Drive.
After performing all these steps, it is like you just took the DVR out of the box. All your past recordings are gone, all your settings are toast. You need to tell it to record all your favorites again.
If for some reason you ever feel the need to remove this drive from your DVR. Simply power down and unplug. Restarting the DVR will cause it to use the old internal drive you had in there before. You will even see your old programs you had on it before you added the new hard drive. Note: When adding the new hard drive, the system only uses the new drive...it simply ignores the old one. It changes nothing on that drive. That's how DirecTV wants it to work as of today......
eSATA Never Worked - Now it's a door stop.......2007-12-13
I received my second RMA'ed ST307504FPA1E2-RK FreeAgent Pro 750GB with eSATA/USB2.0 interfaces back from Seagate yesterday.
Originally purchased new in June, RMA'ed in August after giving up on getting it to work with eSATA. (To be fair, it did work for awhile on its USB 2.0 interface, but I would've stayed with my existing Maxtor external drives if I'd wanted a theoretically-slower USB interface; I wanted a faster eSATA interface). Multiple tries with three different brand x1 PCIe eSATA cards and multiple brands of eSATA cables on an AMD cpu homebuild with no eSATA on mobo, and then on a newer second Intel C2D Quad homebuild with two eSATA ports on the mobo backplate. First replacement unit had same system lock-up and random going-offline problems, as did this third unit (the second RMA replacement). First unit and its RMA replacement from Seagate were factory-sealed and marked as new; the third unit from Seagate was marked "Refurbished".
I have wasted way too much time and money on return UPS charges to Seagate and multiple eSATA cables and PCIe eSATA cards. Life is too short. Seagate's won. I give up. My spirit is broken. This pig will become a very stylish doorstop. When it gets cold here in another few weeks, I'll plug its power brick in again, and it'll serve as a wonderful stand-alone space heater and night light.
In post-mortem, though,... during this five-month fiasco, I've purchased two new OEM internal WD SATA-II drives (one 750GB the other 1TB) and put them in APRICORN EZ-BUS-DTS-EKIT Aluminum 3.5" USB 2.0 & eSATA External Enclosures. Both spun up the first time on the eSATA interface, they run very quiet and cool in these cases, I integrated them easily into XP Pro, and they've worked flawlessly since as rotating daily archival backup depositories.
Of course, as always,... "Your mileage may vary". :)
DVR Upgrade for DirecTV.......2007-12-07
Yes, it works as an external HD for DirecTV's Hi-Def DVR. It will replace your internal drive. Simply unplug the DVR, start the hard drive up for a couple of minutes, then connect it via an eSata cable (not included), and fire up the DVR. This was an excellent purchase, well worth the extra storage.
I'm satisfied.......2007-12-05
I've had the Seagate Pro 750 GB external drive for 4 months now and I'm satisfied. I do not use the software included though.

What You Pay for.......2007-12-27
Formats to around 689 available gigs of space. Already have the personal media drive slot built into my Hewlett Packard so the quick slide fitting was perfect. The fan isn't noticeable unless your ear is directly on the CPU. Otherwise, the noise is adequate and not harming to me since I turn it off to go to sleep.
Great present for Christmas.
completed system.......2007-12-08
Marvelous addition to my new HP Pavilion Media Center desktop computer. Drive slid into designated slot and immediately started up. The computer took a minute or two to recognize the new drive but one recognized has worked flawlessly. I like the look of the drive in the slot and will leave the cover door open to ventilate and show off.
Using build-in software have already ran a backup and file verification of "C" drive in under 7 hours (almost 140 GB of data saved). I have not been troubled by any fan noise. Only issue remaining regards the pro-loaded files on the drive which consume over 50 GB's of memory. Near as I can tell most are foreign language versions of application and instructions. Can I safely delete them without HP coming and knocking on my door?
It's Personal, Not Pocket.......2007-12-05
Amazon's heading correctly identifies this as "Personal" Media Drive, but in the Technical Details, and Product Description, it says "pocket" media drive. This ambiguity creates confusion.
My HP uses the Personal (larger) format drive and has the larger slot, but some of them use the smaller "pocket" slot.
Amazon should fix this.
Good Drive but fan is LOUD.......2007-12-05
Either installed in the HP Media computer or standalone on the desk, when the fan comes on it's way too loud. I am returning it.
Great!.......2007-11-17
This is a great Hard Drive for Any Computer. I have a Dell Laptop and I wanted a Big Hard Drive that would look good on my desk but was also compact enough to take it on the go. Its fast, I copied 50+ Gbs to it in less than an hour. It has a fan so it never really gets hot (just a little noisy, but its not that loud.) The only problem i have had is after i copied a lot of movies on to it, I wasn't able to safely disconnect it so i had to shut my computer down to unplug it. Haven't had any problems since then. Highly Recommended.

External storage of Hi Def recordings.......2007-12-24
I bought this drive to use with my Dish Network HD DVR. It was very easy to hook up and caused no problems with authorization or operation. It has provided a solution for my disk space shortage on my DVR. I have no complaints at all.
Just a simple Plug-n-Play and your on your way! .......2007-12-07
I bought this to put next to the WD320 with a matching case. The connection was easy and I began copying all the files over immediately. The performance works good enough to stream video to my media center PC which is all I really need.
You can't go wrong with this one.
Everything works as expected with reasonable performance.......2007-11-03
Reasonable performance (30-40MB/sec write performance), and is working well for me.
I repartitioned and reformatted this as HFS+ (Journaled) for my MacBook Pro, but everything should apply to Windows machines as well.
The DC power supply is smaller than I've seen in the past for drives, which is nice, and this unit is reasonably well cooled, half-stylish, quiet, and has good performance.
Couldn't expect much more.
a bit disappointed.......2007-10-07
After getting this hard drive (new), I transferred files from an internal storage disk on an old Mac. Not all the files had extensions. So I found I had to rename files and add extentions for it to copy. It ended up being long tedious work. Then, once the files were transferred, I made the grave mistake of deleting them off my old Mac which I had intended to give to a friend, only to learn later that MANY files got corrupted. What a painful lesson to learn. I even opted for a slower transfer speed to ensure its success.
Then, upon trying to navigate to some files to use in any given application, both the window and application quit unexpectedly. I have found that the way I'm having to repair this with the aid of a pc and then on a Mac. Again, very time consuming. Otherwise, I'm able to find files again, though many are corrupted from the initial transfer :-(

Utter piece of junk.......2007-12-06
This hard drive is a piece of junk -- actually an insult to a piece of junk because at least a piece of junk doesn't look like it will work. There should be a reasonable chance that a drive will work out of of the box. The other problem, noted by one is that Seagate's customer support is non-existent except in theory.
I wouldn't buy any external Seagate drive that uses plug in modules on the bottom (the drives came with USB and Firewire modules that neatly plug into an SATA base plug. The modules have a power inlet and the cable end of choice.
This is not random hatred for Seagate. I have two mirrored Seagate 750s in my Apple G5, an upgrade Seagate in a MacBook Pro. There are other Seagates around internal and external. I've never seen a disaster like this one. Seagate bailed my G5 out of a problem caused by WD SATA incompatibility.
I bought the first of these drives to carry on a trip out of the country where I needed a second large storage drive. As it's a MAC, the software didn't matter. I bought this drive, fortunately, at Costco. I installed the Firewire Module, and voila, a dead drive. Being throrough, I tried to USB module. Worked fine. Not what I needed. (or paid for).
A friend who'd purchased and identical drive lent me his Firewire module. I installed it. The drive worked. I left without the drive, but began sending e-mail to Seagate. At that point, all I needed was a module and I'd need the storage when I got home. Seagate's support system is an archaic idiotic mess geared primarily to produce automated answers that aren't helpful. It would keep sending responses to responses saying comments were in the wrong place (not true) and therefore not accessible. The full comments would be attached in the area where they supposed weren't attached.Very specific on the need only for a module because the problem was very specifically isolated. Seagate said they needed more specific details, but that was impossible. I gave up on Seagate after nine days in which it became clear that customer support was handled in a place where English looked good, but didn't understand basic technical English, requiring me to spell out DOA and NFG.
It isn't easy to do anything other than return a complete drive as box, even if you're just missing a cable. I tried to get a return athorization. The system kicked it out which meant I'd have to work my way through autocall when I got back.
Instead, I returned the drive to Costco which provides the valuable right to return for 90 days. I would buy a lot less electronics from them without that. They took the drive back and I still had the need, so my wife, who did the work, brought two new drives home. One of them was DOA with both modules. The other had a dead Firewire module. They went back to Costco the same day and thinking it had to be a fluke, I bought a fourth drive. Another Firewire failure. It went back and I've determined this a Seagate that is too risky to use.
It's obvious that there is Zero quality control on the modules. I'm no longer sure about the drive quality (an end to Maxtor competition may be a factor). My concern was that the drive itself would fail, or that the modules would fail, leaving me the choice of having Seagate destroy my data for the sake of replacing the external module on the drive.
Kudos to Costco for doing the right thing. Curse you to Seagate for producing such garbage and destroying your reputation with me. I have better luck with cheap third party enclosures that don't look as good, but they consistently work.
If this were a single drive failure, I'd take it as one of those rare events. I see the other reviewer with problems similiar to mine or others I know. This is a serious product failure and Seagate is refusing to deal with it.
If you choose to ignore the problems, at least be sure you deal with someone who has a solid DOA return policy without shipping charges or at leat limited. Check it immediately. Send it back it if it doesn't work. Don't waste your time with Seagate support.
Don't buy this drive if you need fast drive.......2007-11-28
I needed a big and fast drive.
The eSATA interface and the Seagate reputation, plus the 5 years warranty, convinced me to buy it.
Alas...
The speed over eSATA is a bit over 20 MB/sec.
Wrote to Seagate and was reassured, that their eSATA implementation is real.
Today I could not stand it anymore, opened the drive, destroying the case (there is no way to open it nicely, don't try if you are not ready to say good bye to the box) and plugged it directly to the internal SATA interface of the eSATA PCI card I used.
Surprise, surprise, the speed went to beyond 50 MB/sec.
No idea if Seagate limit the speed intentionally, or what, but if you expect eSATA speed, you are wrong.
THE GOOD
a) Looks/feels very good.
b) Works great over USB 2.0.
c) Extremely well done case. Under the tin case there is an extremely (!) hard thick plastic case and the drive itself is packed in a robust metal box. So don't worry about damaging the drive even if you press/hit the case (have in mind, though, that operational shock resistance is lower than the non-operational).
BOTTOM LINE
Great drive for home/office use, where USB 2.0 speed is enough and beauty/style is desired. The 5 years warranty is not to be forgotten. However, if you are a professional, or demand a fast drive, look elsewhere.
DOA, and Seagate no help.......2007-11-15
Seagate should call this what it is, an "external hard drive". The cutsey packaging and text on the box is stupid and patronizing.
Mine was Dead On Arrival (DOA). I plugged it in and the internal orange light kept blinking on and off (my other FreeAgent doesn't do that) and the computer can't see it.
NOWHERE on their lousy on-line help system do they talk about this particular failure, but plenty of folks on the Internet seem to have had DOA devices with the same problem.
STAY FAR AWAY from this lemon.
Seagate 750GB External Hard Drive Works Good.......2007-11-09
Nov 2007 Reviewed and updated as necessary.
I bought my Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750 GB USB/eSATA/FireWire 400 External Hard Drive ST307504FPA1E3-RK, in September 2007. I have a lot of videos (and other big different files), and I keep back up copies of all my videos, so I actually need double the hard drive space. I use this Seagate 750GB External Hard Drive as a back up drive for my videos. I have a Pentium 4 computer desktop, with Windows XP Service Pack 2, with four internal SATA hard drives: Western Digital 500 GB (boot drive), Seagate 750 GB, Seagate 750 GB, and Seagate 750 GB.
- With my Seagate 750 GB External Hard Drive, I just use USB 2.0 to copy backup files from my computer. I do not use the Firewire nor eSata options. The USB 2.0 is fine, fast, and convenient for me to use.
- This Seagate 750 GB External Hard Drive stays cool, and the external case is its own heatsink. But since I normally have a small 7-inch box fan blowing on my open computer case, and I also have the fan blowing on this Seagate 750 GB External Hard Drive for additional cooling. (Just in case.)
- Yes, as other Customer Reviews have complained, I also had experience with being unable to copy files due to either long filenames or illegal characters (like semi-colons ";"), but these ARE NOT the fault of this Seagate 750 GB External Hard Drive. It is usually "operator error" (me), and Windows XP protocol, so I usually reduce the size/length of my filenames, and remove my illegal characters in order to be able to copy the files.
- Yes, the formatted 750 GB will read "698 GB" on the computer, but it does have 750 gigabytes of bits.
- This Seagate 750 GB External Hard Drive works very good, and I have not had any problems. And it is so good, that I just ordered another Seagate 750 GB External Hard Drive (like my first one), so I will have a total of two as external backups.
Just works on my Mac.......2007-11-05
I had been using SimpleTech USB/Firewires drives for backing up my Mac workstation drives, but problems
with availablity drove me to try this Seagate 750Gb drive. It works great, and I bought three more. I've had
them in use for 3-4 months now, with nary a problem. Reformatting them to Mac took about 30 seconds
using the OSX disk utility.

Love this external drive!.......2007-12-28
Much better drive than the failed 500GB Western Digital My Book drive I replaced with this Maxtor. Dual USB/Firewire interfaces, 750GB capacity and five year warranty are real pluses. Bundled backup software installs easily from drive itself but software functionality and feature set is fair at best compared to commercial packages like Symantec's Backup Exec System Recovery. While not a major consideration for me, this drive looks really cool. This drive does not have a power off/on switch so look elsewhere if that's a requirement for you (I leave my external drives powered on 24/7). This is my 5th Maxtor external drive and all have been better that numerous other brands and generics I have tried. Each Maxtor external drive generation seems to get better than its predecessor. I hope Seagate's purchase of Maxtor doesn't screw up their product line. Highly recommended if the bundled software isn't a major reason for your purchase.
Maxtor is just OK.......2007-12-27
Its a lot smaller than in the pictures, which is a plus. Its also really cool looking and study. But, it takes a while to find the files (even though I have it partitioned into two different drives) and you can hear it reving up and searching. It makes my G4 Mirror Drive Mac Tower do the spinning pinwheel thing, when locating files on the drive. I was going to use it for editing video, but I think I'll just use it as a big storage device now.
Other then it being too slow and dragging when its accessing files, it looks cool, has a lot of room and I only paid $199... so it was a great value.
Love it! Bought 2 of this!!!.......2007-12-03
I bought the Maxtor One Touch 4-Plus 750GB a month ago from BestBuy, have it on 24x7, love it so much that I bought a second one from Amazon today. I could buy the Maxtor One Touch 4 750GB for $20 less, but I prefer the silver cover look of the Maxtor One Touch 4-Plus over the all in black color of the Maxtor One Touch 4.
Pros:
1. Weight: Only 2.5 lbs for 750GB (698GB actual free space).
2. Size: Very slim, it doesn't take much desk space. It sits on my bed table along with my laptop nicely without taking a lot of space.
3. Temperature: Cool to touch even have it on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
4. Noise: Very quiet. Hardly hear it running.
3. Speed: Very fast. I can watch large movie file directly off the hard drive without any hiccup or delay.
Cons:
1. Maxtor Manager s/w kicks-in at start-up: Run hijack it will take care of the problem permanently. It worked for me.
2. Light: Power light is a bit too bright. Cut out a stripe of 2 post-it notes (use the sticky part) and paste over the one touch button will solve the problem. I used purple color post-it notes, and it gives out very nice soft purple glow at night.

Connected WD HD and lost my CD-ROMs, no customer support :/.......2007-11-16
I purchased my Western Digital My Book 750GB Premium to back up my personal and business data, but then later heard about problems with WD hard drives failing and losing data. Assuming the problems with WD hard drive failures were from past products, I went ahead and connected the external hard drive to begin backing up my data. Upon connecting the external hard drive to my computer via the USB 2.0 connection, Windows re-assigned my D: drive to the external hard drive, thereby losing association with both my CD-ROM drives (which were D: and E: before I installed the external hard drive). I tried to contact WD by phone for support but couldn't reach a human. I emailed them, and WD confirmed the email for support, telling me in a reply email that they would give me an answer within one day. It is now three days later, I have heard nothing from Western Digital Support, and my CD-ROM drives are still unusable. I will look at Seagate or Toshiba products in the future.

Perfect so far!.......2007-12-03
I've now had this hard drive for several months. So far I have zero complaints. It's fast and was easy to install. I decided to go with a Western Digital since almost every Maxtor I've ever had eventually crashes. I would recommend this brand or a Seagate.
Huge Hard Drive, Not A Lot Of $$$.......2007-09-25
This SATA II 750GB Sata II drive is inexpensive and easy to install. Windows XP Pro recognized it instantly. One thing to note as many already know is that you should order a slightly larger hard drive then you need as you lose a good 50Gb+ after formatting it. This is also not a retail drive so it does not come with any cables or software. Luckily you don't really need any of that as your motherboard should have a SATA II cable and XP will do the formatting. I highly recommend.
5 out of 5 stars.
