    Looks like a decent case. I can tell you this much... This drive gets HOT!!! I think I will operate it with the case open in the future and just close it up when it's not in use.

    After putting it in the new case, I have not had a problem. I turn the case on, the drive powers up and stays working. I turn it off, and it actually goes off (unlike before when I had to pull the power cord out). If it was still able to be returned, I'd bring the hell-spawned piece of crap...

    I transferred about 25 GB from my hard drive to the seagate (in its new case) last night without a problem. The drive fired right up, responded and ran smooth. Success seems within my grasp.

    Oh, the external case I bought was $25 at radio shack. I didn't want to brave the best buys/comp usas/etc with holiday shopping in south florida.

    I just got my case opened. It was easy. I never would have thought of taking off the bottom first. Once you get that as the starting point, it is quick. A half dozen screws, lots of prying (that damn case is a pain), and voila, it's done. Now, I just need to get the drive to my buddy to...

    Class action lawsuit? This drive is a piece of crap. I always thought Seagate was a reputable brand. But, this seems to be an epidemic of a crappy product. I will never, EVER, buy a Seagate product again. I'm still waiting on the suggestions on how to successfully open the case. Please...

    Ante, Please post some pictures or instructions on how to open the case. I was in the process of backing up my entire hard drive to what I believed to be a reliable external when the drive crapped out on me. I'm sure, especially after reading everyone else's horror stories, the data (95% of...
