The Seagate Freeagent series of drives is truly a plug and play solution ( plug applies to my knowledge of the Windows platform version. I know nothing about the Mac version.) I bought a Freeagent Go ( 2 1/2 drive without the need for an external power supply) 640GB version for my wife. I take it out of the package, plug in the USB cable, the thing started itself up, installed itself, then proceeded to do a complete backup of her computer. I did nothing to make all of this happen. It is built into the software on the drive. It has a 5 year warranty. The Freeagent GO is 2 1/2 inch, no external power required The Freeagent is 3 1/2 inches and has an external power supply module. I have always been a WD fan ( former employee.) But with a 5 year warranty, the Seagate is a best buy....... Frank Filippone red735i at earthlink.net
