Welcome to StyleAssembly.com, With all that is been happening to the digital world these days, it is pretty common to see people look for the coolest tech gadget. Although, the choice is endless, somehow choosing the coolest one is a subjective or a person to person basis. Being more objective should raise the bar of competition and making it impossible to find the best one, because they are divided into different categories, unless someone invents an all-in-one gadget that pretty much does everything.
As we search for the coolest tech gadget, we might as well look into most of the trusted tech gadget sites to point us out to the right direction. Reading reviews about a particular device should also be very helpful. That's what StyleAssembly.com online shop is all about. A uncomplicated, worry free online shopping experience.

No muss, no fuss. If you intend to use this as a full-time external hard drive, then I suppose you'd want to get the Seagate software to avoid the drive going to sleep issue I've seen other reviewers comment about. But if you have a ton of music, pics, and/or general stuff such as documents, spreadsheets, etc. etc. and would like to have all of them somewhere safe should your computer ever go belly-up, how much more can you ask for?
This device is simple, portable, and rather fast for only operating off the USB power supply. A definite 5-star rating.
Went to the Seagate forums to see if there was anything I could do and read this:
"If your drive is powered from the USB port, try using a Y-cable, if not already.
A single USB port is current limited to 500mA. Your drive requires around 850mA to during spin up, and about 400mA thereafter. Sometimes you need to pick up power from two USB ports via a Y-cable."
If that's the case, why not include a Y-cable with the drive in the first place??? Just doesn't make much sense.
Or, as I said, it might have been defective. But, as it just plain didn't work out of the box for me, returning it and probably won't buy Seagate again.
It was totally plug and play, she had no trouble simply dragging and dropping.
Write-speed was reasonably fast, even for her volumes of stuff.
Small, lightweight and totally portable (unlike some of those bricks),
I loved that it ran off the 5V on the USB (no extra cables),
and in her words, "OMG it is so totally cute!"
Seems pretty durable - we'll see how it holds up after this semester.
