Product Description
The thin, light, ThinkPad X40 notebook with wireless Intel Centrino Mobile Technology (select models) is perfect for mobile staff. It features long battery life and the optional ThinkPad X4 UltraBase Dock for a choice of drives and cable management. Like airbag technology, Active Protection System features built-in motion sensors. When a fall is detected, the hard disk drive temporarily parks itself. That makes it less likely data on your hard disk drive will be lost because of some bumps or drops. To help decrease expenses, look inside for ThinkVantage Technologies and ThinkVantage Design elements. You'll see how to work more confidently and efficiently - and gain more time to focus on strategic goals.

Good Product.......2007-05-15

I had no problems. I was attracted to the great deal this prodct offered and thought I might have to sacrifice something in the process but I really didn't. It works great!

Free Seagate Backup Software Available Online.......2007-05-15

I purchased this Seagate hard drive and have been extremely pleased with it. It is indeed virtually silent and blazingly fast. It backed up 18 GB in 12 minutes for me. It also was recognized in about 1 second by my computer after I connected to the USB port, so there is no down time when using it.

It is true that it comes with no software, which is puzzling and a little annoying. However, there is an easy resolution. Go to Seagate's web site and download their free, excellent DiscWizard software. You'll need a broadband connection to do it because the file is 100 MB, but the software is extremely easy to use and enables you to backup software more easily than drag and drop, especially if you wish to back up your whole computer. You can also use the software for other functions, like creating a second disk drive. The software was extremely easy to install and to use once downloaded, although there is one trick: the software requires at least one Seagate hard drive present on your computer before downloading or before working once downloaded. But as long as the external Seagate hard drive is hooked into the USB port you'll have no problem.

I hope this helps! It's a cheap but excellent product.

Question.......2007-05-14

The desciption of this item is misleading. Is it ST3160812U2-RK or ST3160203U2-RK that is being sold? The title says ST3160203U2-RK but the product details says ST3160812U2-RK !

It took literally about a minute to set up with XP Home.

The drive comes formatted with the FAT32 file system; you'll need to format or convert it to NTFS. (You can use it with FAT32, but the filesize is limited to 4GB.)

Someone posted instructions on converting to NTFS, but I got an error message when I attempted it. However, Microsoft recommends formatting a drive if the drive doesn't have data you need to preserve. Just right click on the drive icon in My Computer and click on "Format." I kept the default options, which included NTFS, and everything works fine.

Now I've got my documents and email all backed up, so I know that a hard disk crash will be an inconvenience rather than a disaster. Overnight I'll do a full-system backup.

I backed up 18 GB direct to the external drive in less than a half hour. After reading that someone was having issues with transfer speed, I copied a 900 MB folder to the drive; it took less than a minute.

Great Value and It Easily Converts to NTFS Format.......2007-04-19

What a great deal, $69.00 when I bought it.

It comes set-up for FAT32. Hop on over to Seagate's Knowledge Base, Type in Format after you fill in the basic info and it sends you to an article that tells you how to set-up the drive for NTFS. A minute or so later and you are done, all without reformatting.

Here is the info to save you looking. Goto RUN, type in "convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs". No quotes. All done.

So this model is not the latest case design, it sits behind my laptop, so I cannot see it anyway.

All my RAW files and .jpgs are moved over and I am flush with drive space.
