Very happy with this drive. Formatted it to FAT32 to use as additional memory for a pvr. Took a couple of attempts to find the right format method on the web but great once up and running. http://www.gearhack.com/Forums/DisplayComments.php?file=Computer/Windows/Format_Large_Disks_to_FAT32_on_Windows_XP_and_Vista

Q: as this hdd has a single usb cable, is it safe to assume it would work with the Cyclone Micro (A90JR) as an affective storage solution ? most 2.5 inch drives have a dual usb cable (one port for power & one port for data) so i'm hopin this Seagate will function with the aforementioned media player.

pete donaldson - 28/01/2010
