No problems setting up... No problems returning from sleep.... no problems with time machine. I can play my iTunes library over my network through my iMac from the drive. Everything I wanted in the drive. The FW 800 is amazingly fast.
pretty quiet. fast FW800. mostly problem free December 12, 2008

Previously I had an OWC 1TB drive as back up for my iMac. It was in RAID-0 and also FW800 so it was fast. But loud! And I would only turn it on for backing up data.
It stopped working after a year so I purchased a couple LaCie 750GB drives. They are the piano black ones and look great, but they are too loud to leave on and also there is just no way to go back to the slower FW400.
So looking at other external hard drive options I looked at the ones from Seagate. I had previous luck with them when I used them for my Window's machines (Still have one for emergency iTunes back-up but it's only 150GB).
It was a relief to find that this drive runs as quiet as my previous Seagate drives. I used the long FW800 cord I had from my OWC connection so it sits on the floor aside my computer desk and most of the time I can not hear it. That's awesome because I leave it powered up (there is no on/off switch) and it's ready for use whenever.
It's great to have the speed of FW800 again.
Now to the one problem. As some reviewers have stated with the 1TB Seagate, this drive can disconnect itself. After it happened the first time, I looked in my iMac energy saving settings and deselected "turn off hard drives when able".
I thought I was so smart but just yesterday I awoke my iMac from sleep and got the warning that I had disconnected my drive improperly. I was worried about losing data but it's happened twice and after repowering the Seagate drive it reconnects and all is as before.
Because it is quiet and fast I am still glad that I got the drive and just hope that the disconnecting itself won't happen again.
