This is a 4TB hard drive, ok?! You might need to make sure you are running the operating system that supports drives bigger than 2TB, has the latest driver for the hard disk controller, etc.

I have a Windows XP 32 bit box I used as a file server. No luck seeing the entire 4TB there.

Hooked it up to a Win7 laptop. Created a GUID partition table. You won't see the entire 4TB with MBR, mind you! It was working until I copied more than 2TB of data to it. Then the disk was messed up. Must be a problem with the hard drive controller driver on this laptop. Oh, well...

After surfing the net for a few hours, built myself a Linux USB drive, used it to partition this 4TB drive to GUID partition with Linux ext2 file system. Hooked it up to my router as a network attached storage. Happy so far.

The bottom line: if you are looking for a simple upgrade, you might want to stick to 2TB hard drives for now.

I bought this along with StarTech SAT2510U2 InfoSafe 2.5-Inch USB/SATA Hard Drive Enclosure. But when I tried to put it into the enclosure it didn't fit. Not sure whether the drive was too big or the case too small???

Nice and small but you'll probably lose the top on it after a while as I did.  I would have been nice if it would have fit on the drive.

This is nice that they've gotten 750GB down to 5mm of platter height.  Now back in the day hard drives came in 5 1/4" standard size which is 133 1/3 mm.  Bring these old school hard drive form factors back and we got a whopping 20TB of space without increasing the horizontal space so it is more easily manufactured using the same tiny platters.  Or better yet Seagate can you bring back the old school form factor for people who craze massive capacity?  I still have my old school computer chassis that accepts 5 1/4" inch drives unlike the 3 1/2 and 2 1/2 wimpy hard drives of today.  Now that you've achieved this technological capacity barrier and once again have taken the throne over other hard drive manufacturers.  Remember your roots and release a limited edition 5 1/4" hard drive that makes use of all this glorious capacity.  Now there is a huge difference between a 2.5" and a 5.25" drive not just vertical but horizontal space as well.  So 20TB is just the minimum of what they can achieve.  I'm sure it's more like 6 times this figure or more.  So we are talking about 120TB+ 5.25" hard drives.  Why not create these large behemoths again for those who want massive space storage now that technologically is possible?  Small hard disk drives are great for laptops or HTPCs for quieter noise but why not release the opposite for old school hard core desktop users?  I'm sure most modern chassis still have at least one 5.25" bay reserved usually for an optical drive and would easily give that up.  And with alternative USB optical drives that's not a big issue.  I'd rather have a 120TB+ 5.25" hard disk drive inside my computer vs a 50GB optical drive anyhow.

As far as power issues using a standard molex should supply enough power since older 20MB MFM hard drives of yesteryear used way more power than hard drives of today.  I wonder if a 5.25 hard drive could run off of a USB port and be used externally as well.

Come on Seagate, we know you can do it.

Bring the Seagate Twenty Six or better yet call it the Seagate Twenty Seven with the old school front plate and led hard drive disk activity light which should bring the vertical height to 27mm.  The Seagate Seven is just a tease and most people would probably go for a 750GB Flash drive to prevent impact data corruption at this point.  But hard core nostalgic desktop computer users will remember the good old MFM monsters.  With advancements in weight I'm sure it would weigh a fraction maybe 1-2 pounds compared to their heavier predecessors.  It's time to bring it back even if it is just for a limited edition run.  I'm sure people are dying to have 120TB+ 5.25 hard disk drives at their disposal.  So what do you say Seagate?  Pretty please and do us a solid?

This is a great product for the price you can name the drive and set a password to protect your files 14.9GB free space for your files and 1.1GB for the password and other stuff sorry don't know much about other stuff hope this helps works great i do know that much

Great drive but manufacturers need to get together and have a standard for how much a GB is. Listing it as a "500 GB" but only having around 460 GB's of space because they count a GB as 1000 MB instead of the actual 1024 MB. Doesn't take away from the performance of the drive but the extra GB's would have been nice.

I didn't realize how limited the storage area was. I cannot store my documents, photos, etc. I need to use an external drive I purchased separately.

This is the case that is suggested by Amazon for the Seagate Wireless Plus 1 TB but it is to small. The drive does not fit inside. I used for other drive.
Buy a bigger (wider) one

I got this porduct because while ordering the 160 WD  passpord HD, it had an offer with it But as soon as i opened it, it was twice the size. It would be best for the external larger HD Like Maxtor,and other's. Not for Passport size Hard Drives

I like this drive because it is big enough to make my computer think it is another hard drive.
that makes it easy to transfer files on the fly.

This was advertised with the G-Drive external hard drive.  The case is just a bit too small for the drive and is semirigid enough that the drive can't or shouldn't be forced to fit.  You can set the drive in at an angle and the zipper will close with some effort.  Probably not ideal.

The hard drives say they are only 1000Gb not 1Tb. Then when I actually put them in they only had 931Gb of space. A terrabyte is 1024Gb not 1000Gb. Advertise your stuff correctly! I payed for 2048Gb (bought 2) and am missing a total of 186Gb!!! I am not happy! I clearly wanted 2 Terrabytes of HDD space and that is not what I got!

This "hard drive case" does not actually fit internal hard drives.

works. not good if hard drive is placed in sideways, adds 2 1/4" to length with a 90 degree sata cable and 2 3/4" with a straight sata cable. had to relocate my hard drive so i could use it.
