i purchased it before one month.I can't speak to the issues that some of the other reviewers have had, but I have to say I've been very impressed by this drive. You've got to plug it in so it's not really an "on-the-go" kind of drive, but that's not what I needed. and the reason I went with Seagate this time is because I've been so impressed with the other Seagates. This time, I wanted a big drive that I could use as a Time Machine backup for my laptop, and as a backup for all of the video files I've shot over the years. So far I've been very happy with this drive. One thing I noted right away is that it actually has slightly more than 500 gb of space! With every other external drive I've ever used the actual amount of usable memory has been a bit less than advertised, even after I've reformatted them. With this one you get what is advertised. It's a USB 2.0 data connection, and from what I've seen manages to move files more quickly than my older Western Digital 500GB desktop firewire drive.

I love Amazon, I use them all the time. There prices are always competitive and they provide excellent shipping times (even better with Prime). I do still use price comparison sites like Shophapi, but that is just to see if other sites are running any offers.

I found some great deals on the Amazon Marketplace, one of best I found was for a coffee machine which was half price because the packaging was damaged. The product was delivered under my Amazon Prime subscription within 2 days and the product worked perfectly.

During the holidays it's often difficult to figure out what to get for family that has moved far, far away. That's when I turn to Harry and David. I've never sent anything from this company that didn't receive rave reviews. Their fruit is always perfectly fresh and unblemished, their baked goods delicious, and their portion sizes for treats are very generous. You're not just sending pretty packaging with one bite of "gourmet" product inside. Ripe, luscious fruit in the dead of winter is one gift that you can feel good about giving and receiving. If by some stroke of unkind fate your produce arrives less than satisfactory, you can contact Harry and David and it has been my experience that they will always replace the gift quickly, with no questions asked.

Ebay is great for finding obscure products or secondhand ones, but more mainstream new products I tend to purchase from sites directly. I have had a lot of secondhand bargains from eBay and my experience has generally been positive. I have bought a few new products from eBay, but generally speaking I prefer to buy direct or other sites which provide you a full guarantee/refund period.
