Has anyone used the Seagate FreeAgent Pro 1TB External Hard Drive with the HR20-100 ? Any problems I need to be aware of before I buy one ? Thanks

Be careful. The FAP series doesn't work at all with the HR21-200, while the FAP series works fine with the HR20-700. I haven't tested it on the HR20-100.

As hasan said the Seagate FAP do not work with the HR21's so you may want to stay away from it in case you have a problem down the road and need a replacement and it is a HR21.

Try searching. I think there are problems. Don't buy Cavalry products. I did and got junk. I am now using a WesternDigital 1TB Green drive, and an Antec MX-1 case which comes with an HDMI cable. If you shop you can get both for $200. Some swear by the SIIG cable but it may be unnecessary. I already had it so I am using it. I think the Antec case is very well constructed, quiet, and runs cool. The drive mounts on a rubber seat and it has an fan.

I'm using the same setup (WD Green 1TB drive and Antec MX-1
case). Installed Tuesday night. Easy to install, very quiet,
worked first time. No problems to report. Search this forum
for Antec MX-1 as there is a post from someone that provides
tips on installing the drive in the case that eased my process.
