I haven't used a 500, nor have any of my friends that I've recommended it to. (Theirs haven't had any problems at all). I use two Seagate drives on my tower computer-- they've been working without a hitch for probably four years now. However, I don't know how portable Seagate drives do with cross-platform'ing. I read some jazz about formatting woes. I've heard that Buffalo drives work great cross-platform, and seem to be quite durable. Sorry to hear about losing all your data! :( Now this is news to me, and certainly a view from the other side of the spectrum.
