But if it dies out on you.not a good thing. As a person who has gone through a lot of harddrives, when it comes to quality, I put Seagate drives on the top as the brand for go-to drives. But as more and more people look for 1TB drives and are wanting portability, Seagate has their cheaper FreeAgent GoFlex drives (which are in my opinion, not as robust and also comes with pre-installed stuff that you don't want) and now the 2011 release of the new Seagate GoFlex Ultra-portable drives. Here are my thoughts on this drive: I. THE DRIVE The 1TB GoFlex Ultra-Portable drive is pretty small. If vertical, it's about 3 inches in height, 2 inches in width. The construction looks like metal but it's not, it's plastic with a metal finish, but either way, metal or plastic, if you drop them from a high distance, you're probably going to do more damage anyway (and yes, I have accidentally done this before).

I noticed the SAME EXACT problem with the new one, as with the first, and I am just so irritated. I contacted Seagate after this last purchase and they gave me the same questions like: Are you sure it's plugged in correctly? Or It sounds like you may have purchased a defective one.
