Thnaks for the responses. The Seagate external HD is working very well so far. The software in the box didn't seem to allow for partitioning the HD to mirror both my internal HDs, but I noticed that there is an upgrade that does. I plan to install that after I get the faster USB in. George D.

Using a Seagate external drive for backups that I am disappointed with so far. It is fast, but I lose the drive frequently I have a Maxtour 60 gig USB 2.0 external and it works like a champ. Never lose it, fast, and has the one-button back-up if I ever decide to do that. I couldn't be happier. I use Back-UPS to back up to it, BTW. If the main compter ever goes down, just take the drive to a new computer and zap, I'm back in business. The only thing I need to worry about is a fire that destroys both the computer and the external, and if that happens, well, it happens.
