Pros: Hasn't failed on me

Cons: Constantly disconnects when transferring large or many files when plugged into a USB 3 port. Have to restart the PC to get it to recognize this unit. Constantly makes clicking and scary beep noises

Overall Review: Avoid this overpriced and unreliable drive.

Pros: Lasted longer than the other reviews!

Cons: Reliably dies after 1.5 years.

Fails when using USB 3.0

Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 3TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive
Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 3TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive

Pros: USB 2.0 works 3TB

Cons: USB 3.0 fails after moments of transferring

Overall Review: See other reviews here and other places. If you connect to a USB 3.0 port, you have a very high chance of transfer failure. This is basically an expensive USB 2.0 case.

Lasted me about 2 years
