Unfortunately I didn't keep the crappy plastic packaging it came with, so now I get to deal with Seagate support, and surprise! their online warranty support is offline for at least a week. http://support.seagate.com/customer/warranty_validation.jsp Terrible product!

God knows why you stopped at 320. Not smart. But, it's a bonus for us since the 500GB version for PC is (at Best Buy today) the same price as the 320GB MAC version.
