Input: I read the reviews for this drive (positive and negative) and decided to give it a chance. I have a newer PC and didn't think the \\"PC not recognizing the drive\\" complaints would apply to me. Usually, my PC is very responsive and a fly could land on the USB port and my PC would recognize it...not with this drive.<br /><br />I tried this on several drives on my laptop and two other laptops I own and it wouldn't recognize it on any of them. I would plug it in, you could hear the drive spinning (LOUD) and my PC didn't notice it at all.<br /><br />I did a little more research and this drive apparently requires 800mAmps of power to start up but can run on 400 mAmps afterwards. A normal USB provides 500mAmps, so you can see therein lies the problem. So, a work around is to get a Y Adapter or a powered USB hub and the drive from that but if I wanted a bunch of complicated cables or a wired HUB I would have purchased a desk top hard drive not a portable hard drive.<br /><br />This was just way too much work for me and I think it's completely ridiculous that I should have to go purchase some additional equipment to make something work that should work just out of the box.<br /><br />Thankfully, amazon has a great return policy has paid for return shipping.<br /><br />Thanks Amazon for making this right...even when Seagate couldn't make their product right!!!!!

Save your frustration and PASS on this portable hard drive.
