Couldn’t be easier!
Paired with Apple’s Time Machine backup software (which is part of the current OS X.5 operating system), backup are a breeze! I bought this to use with my MacBook which lives in the living room most of the time but does move around. When I want to run a backup, I [...]

WARNING - not what the description says!
The description for this product says “Full kit includes drive cables, installation and management software, and illustrated instructions”. All I got was an OEM drive… just the drive with no cable, rails, software, instructions or anything else. I don’t know if an underpaid stockboy just screwed up [...]

big and quiet
This 250Gb drive replaced the original 80Gb drive in my G4 PB. The drive affords plenty of extra storage space and by thus adds some extra life to the machine. The reviewer who mentioned that the drive is noisy must have gotten a defective unit: my drive is as quiet as it could [...]

It’s fast. Solid return for money spent.
Pros: It’s power consumption is lower. It fit into my laptop case just fine. I would say boot speed is faster than a Raptor. I have not experienced any of the stutters or delays associated with these sorts of drives at this price point.
Cons: It’s [...]

I believe problems are resolved !
NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED:
I’ve watched the issue with these drives carefully for about 2 months. It looks like Seagate solved the problem and that a vocal few were ever really affected. By few I mean relative to the thousands sold. And I am not defending Seagate. This [...]

Poor backup option in image mode
If you purchased this drive and software (as I did) to restore after system crashes you may be in for a rude surprise - the included Safetydrill software does not (as claimed) delete older versions of backups as required to make space for newer ones, instead it MOVES them to [...]

The specs are super
I purchased to replace a RAID 0 set of WD Raptors 10k RPM drives. This single drive exceeds these and the power reduction is a super bonus. I will try two more in RAID 0 in the near future. There are no hiccups when using this drive which can be an [...]

Perfect for my new MacBook Pro
Wow, talk about plug and play! Just plugged this baby into my MacBook and Time capsule recognized it and asked when I wanted to backup and how often and voila that was it. Nothing to install. I love it.
Update (2/4/2012): I also found some auctions for this item [...]

Made my Mac upgrade very smooth!
I bought this enclosure so that I could use the drive from my old Mac (beige Powermac G3 desktop) as an external HD on my new Mac (iMac G5). Compared with networking the two computers together and using file sharing to transfer my old data to the new machine, [...]

The Hard Drive Toaster
I have been buying Vantec external hard drive enclosures for several years nows, and they have allowed me to add terabytes of storage to my computers for video and audio files. When I saw this thing, I said to myself, Cool!
Vantec has designed the NST-D100SU in white plastic to make a [...]
