Seagate Expansion drive
I've just bought Seagate Expansion Portable 500GB Hard Drive and can't umount it safely, because disk is spinning. I think, if this will continue, the disk will be definitely damaged.
Any ideas?

Re: Seagate Expansion drive
Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1 TB is working fine for me here.. what kind of error do you get when you try to umount it?

Re: Seagate Expansion drive
I'm not getting errors, just when I unplug disk, it makes terrible sound, like it crashed. Under win XP, the green indicator turns off and disks slow down.

Re: Seagate Expansion drive
tried umount + eject? Or maybe force a spindown using hdparm?

Re: Seagate Expansion drive
I have the same model. To unmount I give safely remove from the panel on the left without any problem. If I try to unmount directly from the folder of the drive I have:
Unable to stop drive
This file cannot be stopped
