Seagate Expansion 1TB External Desktop USB 2.0 Hard Drive - Review
Dynamic storage solutions are the need of the day, and the companies like Seagate are working hard to fulfill these needs. Among the latest products from the company is the Seagate expansion 1TB hard drive that helps one store massive volumes of music, videos, presentations, games, and anything else.

In our review of this product, our first impression was shaped by the stylish design that complemented its great technical features. On style - not an unimportant consideration for many - very nice!

Here is our full opinion about the Seagate expansion 1TB hard drive:

Stylish and Sleek Design
The hard drive has a black glossy exterior that simply demands attention. The case is strong enough to withstand normal falls and knocks that external devices often undergo. Moreover, the soft black surface is scratch-resistant and fingerprint-resistant - nice qualities contributing to better aesthetics.

Easy to Use
Seagate expansion 1TB is a high speed USB hard drive which is easy to use even for first time users. The power port needs to be connected to the power socket, and the USB port to the USB port of your computer or laptop. As one switches the power button on, the green LED light at the front end starts glowing. The hard drive is totally plug and play. It will be automatically detected by the operating system, and interacted with as you would with any internal disk drive space. Use it totally hassle-free. As for most external hard drives, the power and USB ports are located at the rear of the unit.

Pluses
· The expansion 1TB hard drive from Seagate is compatible with Windows XP and Vista and also with Apple Mac OS X 10.4.8 and its higher versions.
· Acceptable data transfer rate makes the drive good to use for different sections of users.
· The hard drive is relatively quiet - for those who demand a quiet working environment.
· Built in power management functions make the drive highly efficient in terms of energy consumption.
· One of the most attractive aspects of the Seagate expansion 1TB hard drive is that it is available at an economical price tag.
· The hard drive comes with a 2-year warranty.

Minuses
The hard drive is a bit bulkier than some of the thin models (with less storage capacity) that are on the market, and also on the heavy side weighing in at 2.25 pounds. However, unless it is meant to be constantly carried around, this represents a pretty minor drawback. If basically used as a back-up desktop drive, this issue can be ignored.

Summary
The combination of stylish looks and very respectable technical features makes us recommend this drive for users with large data storage requirements. Please browse through our store. You can find the 1TB Seagate Expansion drive on our pages. Happy computing!
