Just a warning, folks. Those 1.5 TB Seagate drives have had firmware
issues. While there's a new firmware available, if you happen to get
an old one the /only/ way to reflash it is with a PC. There's no way
to do it on a Mac. (And it involves booting the PC into DOS to do it.)
Seagate generally makes good stuff, but they've got a lemon on their
hands with the 1.5Ts.
