I own a Seagate FreeAgent USB and I can confirm that it does work on the mac and works quite well actually. The box says the drive is Windows only, but it easily reformats to HFS+ in Disk Utility. Unfortunately, I think some users might be getting lost in the reformat process because simply "erasing" the NTFS partition with an HFS+ partition doesn't work. You must create a new partition in the "Partition" tab instead.
The drive comes pre-formatted with a "Master Boot Record" partition map and an NTFS partition. In order to reformat the drive, you first have to go to the partition tab of disk copy, second, choose "1 Partition" (or more if you wish) from the "Volume Scheme:" menu, third, use the "options" button to change the partition map to either "GUID Partition Table" or "Apple Partition Map", Fourth choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as your formate, last choose apply.

I can confirm this, too. I bought the drive and it was no problem HFS+ formatting it.
