Just picked this up over the weekend and it is a great drive. It's very quiet and does not generate a lot of heat. I like it better than the 1TB Western Digital because it does not have that annoying VCD crippleware.
By Rahul Garg (Mumbai)
Pros: 1 TB capacity :) (931 gb actual available :( ), no external power needed, not a whole lot thicker than the 2 platter drives (see the 2 images I've added), decent speeds, removable software, mini usb connector
Cons: Not too much of cons for me:
Weight (feels almost double the weight of the thinner drives), thickness (hey, it would still be nice if these were thinner) - it's certainly not double the thickness, barely 0.3 inches thicker than my 500GB WD drive.
Other Thoughts: In all honesty, I would never have considered buying this drive if I hadn't read all the negative reviews that have been posted for the comparable 1TB drive from WD (look for it's amazon page). I was shocked to read all those reviews since I was quite excited originally when WD released the 1TB hdd. This drive luckily does not suffer from those 2 main issues i.e. it uses a usb mini connector and the software is easily removed. I bet WD is having a hard time dealing with a lot of returns due to their silly move. Luckily for me I waited, read those reviews so I was able to make a better decision. Regarding the speeds, I copied some files over and here is what I got (approximately):
45.6 GB (~29,000 files) - ~80 mins
293 GB (~1,000 files) - ~7 hours (I did not see this through completion but XP informed me about 224 mins left after ~3 hours of copying files, so 7 hrs is going by that figure).

I bought this along with Seagate theater +, It is twice as thick as the 500gb, same speed , heavier ,good plastic casing, and no forced software to deal with. They are available at major outlets, since i can't wait for amazon.

This item already recieved.
The Seagate freeagent go 1TB has no forced VCD partition like wd.
It looks great.
After formating it with NTFS it gives free space of 931 GB (I will upload photo).
The weight slightly heavier than the 500 GB type.
The size looks small.
