I bought the 750G Byte FreeAgent Pro last October for back up. During the following months my computer had several failures and I had to recover the O/S disk three times. On neither occassion could I use a backup from the Free Agent Pro external drive but fortunately I had an Acronis image backup on another network computer. My computer problems generally were nothing to do with the external drive but by December it seemed to me that the External drive was definitely faulty and had been from the start. I moved it to a Laptop and ran the diagnostics which confirmed a fault; the diagnostics software would not run on my PC. I returned the drive to Dabs who did initially wanted it to go back to Seagate for repair but I insisted on my rights and that the drive had never functioned properly. In fairness to Dabs, they agreed and sent a new replacement which has worked fine ever since; I have also bought a new PC now.
