Does anyone know where I can find hard drive icons of this particular drive or for that matter all seagate externals? I can't find them on their site.

I had the same problem. I got 2 of the same shipped from them and both couldn't be found. Like they work but couldnt be recognized. I reccomend going to best buy and buying a hard drive from there. It will cost more but you know it will work and you get customer service. That's what I ended up doing. Saved the head ache

I found that the drives are several years old. I bought a bunch of them (10+) it was a mistake. I tried to get warranty from WD and they did not honor the 5 year warranty and in fact when I returned the drive, they claimed it wasn't manufactured by them. I ended up returning the drive to the seller for a replacement. Don't count on the 5 year warranty, better yet buy it from another manufacturer. I've had too many failures of WD drives in the last year or two. I have switched to Seagate.

None. They are Seagate 1 Terabyte Enterprise Drives. Enterprise drives are designed to last quite a bit longer MTF than a standard non-ES drive.

That raises the question: What is the "proper packaging" for this drive? And the corollary question: How do you know it when you see it? What I do know is that mine has worked without a qualm since I bought it.

Hi it's a bit confusing, and hard to figure out who you are ordering from on these drives. Did not buy mine from Oceanside. Might want to look at similar drives from Fry's. They have the full warranty.

It's been a while since I ordered this, but I *think* it was the bare drive. Can't be sure, but on another note, I wouldn't recommend Seagate. I own a computer repair shop, and we see more Seagate drives crash than any of the other brands combined. Go with a Western Digital!

Good points. It's still relatively new, and I wonder especially how the hard drive model has held up. My new one arrived DOA, and now I'm really struggling over whether to ask Amazon for a refund or an exchange. This baby may be intended to be Solid State all the way, which means the hard drive models will be unwanted period pieces in another year or two.

I am not an expert on this. Please call Seagate tech support 1.800.SEAGATE (1.800.732.4283)

I installed the Seagate Dashboard. I then scheduled it to backup all my stuff every night. You can see what is going on by opening it via "Computer" from your Start Menu on a PC, there it is along with your C drive....good luck. It works like a charm for me...

There is nothing on the device itself. You will be prompted on what to do when you attach it to your computer via USB cable. I had trouble with my set up, and ended up calling Customer Service at Seagate. A very knowledgeable and helpful guy talked me through what to do. I allowed him access to my computer, and we got all the bugs worked out. I'd say if you are stuck, go to their website, and call Customer Service.

Agreed superrabbit, my Passport died after 8 months. Thank god I have backed up everything to my other Seagate drive that I use as a secondary backup to my mac. I am looking to get either Iomega or Seagate 500G drive soon for my primary backup unit.

I put in my HDs so long ago, all three of them in three docks, I must have formatted in the docks since they never were in my PC. They are all NTFS now and they didn't come that way.

Could someone who has one of these drives post the size of the power port on the back? I am interested in getting one of these with an external power adapter, and would like to be able to order simultaneously.

Looks like they are using Hitachi. One of my enclosures stopped working so I opened up the case to remove the drive and installed in my computer as an additional internal drive. The drive itself is still working perfectly fine some 4+ years later.

I don't remember any. It is all on the drive. All I had to do was plug it in and it was recognized. Win7 64. Probably get it off of Seagate's web site too.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3TB. I put in 4 of those. Hooked up to RaspberryPi. Works beautifully.
