I got the drive, a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 2TB external, and I'm happy that it has a 2yr warranty (vs. the 1yr I believe the WD Elements I was considering).
There's Seagate backup software and "Seagate Dashboard (Utilities)" that it wants to install. Is that a good idea? I don't imagine it would conflict with the stuff on my T41p or X300, but I was planning to continue using an old version of Acronis TrueImage Home which has been working well on both machines. Any problems with the Dashboard and a ThinkPad? Or experience with the SG utilities in general?
