When its time to back up and protect your digital content--photos, music, documents, and more--it doesn't get much easier than the Seagate Free Agent Desktop USB Portable Hard Drive. Simply plug it in to any power source, connect the USB cable to any computer, and you're ready to go. This hip-looking hard drive takes up less room on your desk than an ordinary stapler, giving you more space for your other desktop items.

If you're still relying on your personal computer or back-up CDs or DVDs to store your digital content or vital personal or family documents, you're running an unnecessary risk. Your computer can only hold so many files and can crash at any time, leaving you helpless to access your content. DVDs and CDs have a place in archiving, but they get easily scratched and lost. It's too risky to store everything in your computer, and too time-consuming and cumbersome to have a drawer full of CDs or DVDs.

Computers come and go, but your content should always be nearby. With up to 250 glorious gigabytes, the Free Agent external hard drive is the best place to gather and access all of your important photos, movies, music, games and documents. Simply plug in the power and the USB cable and you’re ready to go.

The Seagate Free Agent is big enough to store a huge portion of your digital content in a safe and secure environment, but small enough to let you take that content with you wherever you go. In other words, having the Seagate Free Agent is like having your entire computer with you at all times, but in a package that's a small fraction of the space and weight of your computer. Designed to live peacefully in your home or office, the Free Agent external hard drive is extra quiet and takes up less room on your desk than a stapler. Even the cable ports are base-mounted to help keep your desk free of clutter. We even add a little bit of sophistication to your desktop with the unique espresso brown finish and molten amber illumination.

The sleek and slim design of this hard drive--only measures 7.5 x 1.6 x 6.4-inches (H x D x W)--and a weight of less than four pounds. The Seagate Free Agent lets you transfer files seamlessly from your computer via its USB 2.0 connection at a brisk transfer rate of up to 480Mb/sec. The drive delivers a spindle speed of 7,200 RPM, giving you the high-speed performance you need to back your data up quickly and safely.

The Seagate Free Agent is ready to use out of the box with a PC, but it can be made Mac-ready in a matter of minutes with Mac OS X's Disk Utility. This portable hard drive is already compatible with Windows Vista (as well as Windows XP and Windows 2000), allowing you to backup your content regardless of operating system upgrades.

At this compact size, and with this high performance, you now have the ability to take your data with you anywhere you go, so your digital content finally has room to breathe. A five-year warranty is also included, giving you complete peace of mind.

4 of 5 Great value... Tuesday, February 03, 2009
L.J.Lawton from St. Peters, MO  

As a backup drive the Seagate is a great solution for the large amount of photographs I take. The only problem is that I cannot keep the unit hooked up to my computer. When I turn the computer on in the morning, the Seagate causes my system to lock up. When I disconnect the Seagate then restart the computer everything works fine. After the computer is on I connect the Seagate and transfer the folders, files and photos I wish to back up. I am very pleased with Buy.com and their quick service.

5 of 5 Space, the Final Frontier Monday, February 02, 2009
Jeff from Chicago IL  
This drive is ready to run out of the box. It has so much capacity, I don't envision ever filling it up. We are using it for a daily backup for our Microsoft Small Business Server 2008. The Microsoft backup program works well with this drive. Considering its low cost, everyone who has a PC should have a drive like this one to back up their data.

5 of 5 Works as designed Tuesday, December 02, 2008
BB from Millbrook, NY  
Using this drive for 2 months. Using Vista Ultimate on a Q6600 processor 4gig memory. Using for system and data backup(weekly). Installation was easy just plug in to a High speed USB port. System sees it, its immediately usable. Have had no problems no over heating. I do not use it for real time storage (it is always plugged in) mainly for backup you can drag files over to it no problem. If you set the power saving mode you may wait a second or two until its speeds up. I am very happy with value.

5 of 5 Great DVR solution! Saturday, October 25, 2008
A Customer from Marshfield, WI  
Took the drive out of the box, connected it and it worked perfect immediately. This is additional storage for my Dish VIP722 DVR, so now I can archive as many movies as I want to the Seagate. My DVR will also play them from the Seagate archive, so there is no need to move them back to the DVR hardrive.

5 of 5 2nd time a charm Wednesday, October 22, 2008
A Customer from Valparaiso, Florida  
The first drive I received was DOA. The good part is buy.com paid for the shipping back and then sent me another new one. It took about three weeks to send the bad one back and the new one to get to me. The new drive works great. No problems at all yet. I use it on my MAC. As soon as I connected it to the computer it was recognized. It has a program that sets up the drive for MAC users. That worked great as well. I feel a lot better knowing I have all of my data backed up on a hard drive. I have had it about a month now and issues at all. I give it a 4 in performance because the first one was DOA. I give Buy.com a 5. Free shipping to begin with and free shipping back was a good deal.

5 of 5 Just works great Tuesday, October 14, 2008
A Customer from Leander, TX  
This 1 TB dive is my second FreeAgent drive. I use both USB drives for capturing and storing video. They are fast, their NTFS out of the box, and they have a 5 year warrantee. I delete all the software that comes on them and never use it, I use my capture software and windows explorer.

5 of 5 Seagate. The only name to trust. Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Stan B from Lee, NH  
I've been building and maintaining PC's for decades. No other drive manufacturer on the planet can make a drive as reliable and quiet as Seagate does. When I'm building audio/video editing machines or media center PC's... silence is the rule. Seagate delivers. This external FreeAgent drive is perfect for shuttling large movie files between various machines, even Mac and PC. Probably my only negative observation is, on the 1TB model I have, the base is not removable, making it just a little awkward to tote around. I could not believe the deal I got through Buy.com. Timing is everything.

Keith from Salisbury, MD  
Ordered this item as a gift for my wife to give her more storage space for her business. I ordered based on previous reviews and warranty. Set-up was simple and fast. She has already freed up alot of space on her old hard drive.

5 of 5 Great product Saturday, July 12, 2008
Adam from Boston, Massachusetts  
I had bought Seagate products in the past and I was confident that another purchase from them would be a good investment. I can say fully that it was. The hard drive is easy to use, hassle free, and small on space, yet surprisingly big on memory. I will continue to buy from Seagate in the future.

Kent from Louviers, CO  
I like this drive so much, I just bought two more We do quite a bit of photography, and are always looking for inexpensive storage. This little brick is quiet, stays cool, and looks better than most other options in it's catagory as part of the home office.
