[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1013537"] I have Seagate externals. One is a 1T, partitioned into two 500G spaces. The only problem with it is that it goes to sleep after 60 seconds, which means that I have to wait for the spinning beach ball to go away when I want to open/save a file because somehow the entire directory structure has to be online and active before you can do that. It's an annoyance that is documented [URL="http://stx.lithium.com/t5/FreeAgent-Products/FreeAgent-Drive-Sleep-OSX-issues-resolved/td-p/13358"]here.[/URL] I've tried what was recommended but the drive still spins down after 60 seconds of inactivity. Other than that, it's a good unit. [/QUOTE]
