Re: Seagate 1.5 TB FreeAgent Desk External Drive

First question.

1) I can afford to get either a: (1.5 TB USB 2.0 Drive) or a (1 TB Firewire drive). I would like the extra space of the 1.5 TB drive but USB 2.0 transfer rate is 480 mbps and Firewire is 800 mbps. Does the transfer rate make a big difference?

Which option would you go with?


I want to buy a Seagate 1.5 TB FreeAgent Desk External Hard Drive, but I read you can't use it as a bootable backup. (See User Comments at Link Below) I want to store all of my important files and software on the Seagate, but does this mean that if my HD crashed that I could not read my files on the Seagate? Please explain?

1) Does anyone here own one and know if this is true?

2) Can Super Duper Software configure the Drive to be a backup drive or is this something that the manufacturer has to do?

3) Would this prevent you from buying this drive? I want to store all of my important files and software on the Seagate, but does this mean that if my HD crashed that I could not read my files on the Seagate?

Thanks
