Improperly ejects drive
598317
I purchased this 2TB drive a few months ago and have had issues from the first time I installed it.  Repeatedly received an improperly ejected device warning within a few seconds of connecting the drive. My work around, until recently, was to use the repair disc iMac Apple Utility.  After a few attempts the disc would boot up and become stable.  While rather annoying I was able to use the external drive as needed to save photos and music. Recently the problem has worsened and I can no longer repair the disc through the utility.  The Backup Plus ejects itself before the repair is completed. I have searched both Apple and Seagate forums, searched Apple and Seagate online support, and have down loaded updates from both tech support sites. No answers and no repair.  Both manufactures point at each other and place blame on either Apple's OS or a faulty Seagate drive. My Time Machine is an old Seagate Free Agent that continues to function just fine. Past experience with Seagate has been positive and I am very disappointed with this  product.  I do not recommend the Seagate Backup Plus for Mac. Apple sells LaCie drives so I'll give them a try.

when plugged in this drive is recognised as C drive and not as E drive on  my computer.
I found this very annoying as when I tried to set up automatic back ups  and syncs it was backing up and syncing back on the computer drive C and not on this drive.  Well, that's not much use, as the whole point be to have the back up on this drive and not on my computer.
Anybody else has found this to be the case?  How to have this drive recognised and E or F and not as C?

I bought this a while back (couple years) but I switched cases and noticed a serious defect a month or so ago. As I was removing the cables, the drive would not release the SATA cable when pushing the clip on it down.  Nothing would get it to release, and now, the clip on the back of the drive has broken off. It is still usable, but a slight bump of the case or any kind of transport will cause the cord to come out.

the picture shows a disk drive on the right side; I don't see how to open any drive. it comes with recovery disks; so where do you insert tem?

Great tool-less installation, but the disk keeps getting disconnected inside case, requiring you to open and push HDD back in into the internal connector.

 Can't return since it took me a while to start using it.

Purchased this item. Second DVD I tried to burn got stuck in the drive and there was no way of removing it. As the icon does not appear on my desktop, I can't use the eject button to get it out. Waiting to hear back from the company to see if there is something I can do.

The drive gets very hot quickly. I had protected it using Bitlocker and after a few cycles of connecting, disconnecting it started to misbehave. Bitlocker/Win10 would recognize the encrypted drive and prompt me for the password, After entering the password successfully, it would show me an error "Insert a Disk into Removable Disk USB Drive". No matter how many times i tried. I think the heat may have caused some internal problem. It's a shoddy product and needs to be redesigned. I would not count on this to reliably and safely store & retrieve important data.

I installed the Nifty Drive into the USB slot but it would not come out of the USB slot. I tried the removal tool but it was stuck, I tried very thing but it was stuck. I finally had to pray it out of my computer in pieces, all the while hoping that I didn't damage my computer. So I am out the money for the Nifiy drive and now I have some scratches from around where had to pray the card out.

Constant disk did not eject properly errors which force removing and reinserting the card. This pretty much defeats the purpose of this form factor.

Originally observed it to be faulty disk... Turns out to have been a fault sata cable, works as expected after replacing sata cable.

I received mine yesterday, and at first, it seemed to work great.  Until I touched it while it was copying files.  It seems like the slightest touch causes the drive to lose its connection to my laptop.  And once it has been "improperly" disconnected, my laptop won't acknowledge its existence.  I've tried I've tried every combination of unplugging and repluging and restarting and putting my laptop to sleep and letting the drive cool down.  After about an hour of frustration, the drive finally showed up again among my options.  But then, this morning, it happened again, and I'm just shy of throwing it against the wall now.  Why is this thing so finicky?  How can I entrust my files to a piece of hardware that seems more delicate than spun glass?

Within 5 minutes the eject button on the drive stopped working. I have to eject the disk through the operating system now. It works but i wish i had spent $5 more and gotten a better quality drive.

I bought this enclose and put a 1TB WD Blue (slim) hard drive in it. The electronics of the enclosure did nothing upon first connection to my PC. The drive was spinning, but no 'attempt' to tell the OS of the drive, which means no way to use the drive.

I have a Kingwin EZ-Clone USB device. I connected the drive, and using GParted, I put a GPT partition, as NTSF. All ok, no errors.

When I put the drive back into the Sabrent ultra slim enclosure, and plug it into my PC, My OS does recognize the drive, but it is identified as a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD. what? Not the 1TB WD drive that is actually in the enclosure.

Anybody got any hints on how to fix this silliness?

This is a Resale shop  - and this LACIE Drive does NOT work. It is corrupted.

The adapter part of the cable that goes into the drive or phone is too short and does not stay in the drive. It falls out.
