| | | | Product Guides | | | | | If you find yourself working from multiple computers but needing constant access to your own software, e-mail and digital files, the Seagate Free Agent Go Portable Hard Drive is for you. More than a simple portable back-up and storage solution, the Seagate Free Agent Go lets you take your favorite software, Web browser, IM client and contacts, email, cookies, and personalization settings wherever you go--safely and securely. Not only does this portable hard drive synchronize your data with just about any computer you want to work from, more importantly it features the latest encryption software to protect your content, leaving no trace of your last session on the borrowed computer. With the Seagate Free Agent Go, you have the best of all worlds--a convenient portable back-up solution and a virtual desktop in a pocket-size package.
It’s all about having your desktop environment and latest files with you - when and where you need them. Designed for mobility, the sleek compact design easily fits into your shirt pocket, briefcase or backpack. We provide the USB cable that’s not only the interface connection, but the power source – no additional power cords are needed. And the unique espresso brown finish with molten amber illumination is just icing on the cake.
Whether you have vital company data or personal files and programs that you need to access, the Seagate Free Agent Go protects your most valuable information via drive-level encryption that provides a more robust solution than most software encryption on the market today. Delivering high-end protection against unauthorized use with encryption for sensitive files, this device keeps your data safe while you're on the go.
And not to worry, your Free Agent Go portable hard drive saves all of your private information on itself, not on the computer you’re using. That means there’s no trace of your last session to tempt the next person on a borrowed computer. It also provides strong file encryption to protect your content, and lets you sync your files from several PCs.
With the Seagate Free Agent Go, virtually any computer can temporarily become yours. The software/drive combination allows you to move files or other content quickly via USB 2.0, allowing transfer rate of up to 480 Mb/sec for USB. The drive's high-performance spindle speed of 5400 RPM gives you the high-speed performance you need to back your data up quickly and safely. The sleek and slim design of this hard drive--only 0.7 x 3.9 x 4.8-inches (H x D x W)--and a weight of less than four pounds means that you can carry practically your entire desktop with you as you make your rounds from computer to computer.
The Free Agent Go software and drive is formatted to work out of the box with Windows operating systems--including Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000--but the drive can easily be made Mac-ready in a few minutes with Mac OS X's Disk Utility. The unit features a sophisticated touch point power on/off switch. Plug in the USB 2.0 cable to a PC and your personal desktop environment launches automatically. To help eliminate even the slightest bit of worry, we’ve included technical support and a five-year limited warranty.

1 of 5 Loser Tuesday, September 30, 2008
A Customer from Wichita, KS
I bought this FreeAgent to sync with my computer. Turns out it does not sync at all. I called Seagate and all the software will do is backup files from the computer to the FreeAgent. If one adds a file to the FreeAgent from another source the software does not sync the file up to the computer. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 No problems so far. Friday, June 13, 2008
Chris from New York, NY
Contrary to one of the previous reviewers, I rarely trust the software packaged with these types of drives since they sometimes contain bugs / viruses. So, the first step was to reformat before sticking important data on it.
Thus far, have not had any problems with the unit. As common with most external drives that do not require a separate power source, this will require the use of 2 USB ports (small price to pay for not having to fish around for another outlet). Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Needs 2 USB ports Friday, March 14, 2008
A Customer from Fair Play, SC
Nice size and weight, but needs 2 USB ports - one for power and one or data. The Technical Specs don't tell you that. My MacBook Pro has 2 USB post - one on the left and one on the right. So without a USB Hub, I use up all my ports with this Seagate.
Would have been nice to know before I purchased the drive. Was this review helpful?
