I wanted to have a drive to dump my virtual tapes to and use for hosting videos and music for my webserver and for windows clients, xbox, etc etc etc. Drive works great with OpenBSD. To say the least.
For those technically inclined here is my setup.
a Sun Blade 1000
Ultra Sparc III
I put a VIA based PCI USB 2.0 card in
Connected this drive and it just works.
Note NTFS is not compatible with OpenBSD but I wanted to put ffs on it any way.
The main drives are Fibre Channel and they don't even make them above 300gigs and thats if you can afford to pay top dollar. So this was a great alternative and I'm pleasantly surprised how well it works.
For what I needed it for it works great.
Note when you go to do newfs use the quiet and go watch a movie, at 1 terabyte your going to be waiting about a half hour for it to backup the superblock a couple thousand times.
Should work with Linux, but I haven't tried it. If the system dies I'd probably load it through a vm of openbsd with usb forwarding on a linux host running virtualbox.
On a side note its hard to find a usb drive that is just a usb drive and not more than that. But luckily I found this one on my second try. Tried another drive by a western fellow and it kept crashing and causing kernel faults.

I love it i took all my songs pictures and movies off my computer and put them on my seagate. For the price it was perfect. I havent had any glitches at all and nothing wrong. now the top is lackerd so for those people who dislike seeing finger prints on it. tho it does come with a clear sheet thats already on it. but if you can find anything. mebey a case that still allows for you to use it.

I have bought two 1.5TB Seagate external drive about two months ago. Now one of them started making a clicking noise and failing. I researched the web and found out that there are tons of other people having the same problem with the same drive....just read through other customers reviews here on Amazon. This product should be recalled, it's a fraud!!! Too many failures and they know it!!!

I've only used it to back up my entire computer so far. It just chugged right along, copying all my files just as fast as it could go. I haven't really had a chance to really give it a run for my money yet, but I am very satisfied as of yet.

I was a bit hesitant to buy the product as I had read some reviews about people having some "clicking" sound issues with the drive. So far so good its been working great and haven't had any issues. Amazing storage space for the money its worth...1TB for [...] bucks that too from Seagate!! And oh yeah it works seamlessly with Linux (I am using Ubuntu).
