Seagate FreeAgent Go Review and Giveaway

September 28, 2009 by


In today’s computer savvy world everything seems to be done online via computer. With movies online, MP3 files and digital pictures it takes more hard drive space to save all of these files. Seagate comes to the rescue with their simple to use FreeAgent family of storage solutions for people who require more hard drive space.

FreeAgent drives come in many different storage options up to 1.5 terabytes and have drives as small as 320GB with a USB 2.0 interface making data transfer very fast. With such a wide range of options Seagate offers a drive for every situation with enough space to fit all of your precious memories. Seagate FreeAgent drives include hassle free installation and setup in minutes with NO CD. Another feature of the FreeAgent Go drives is the world’s first desktop dock and travel kit so you can use your drive with your desktop as well as your laptop. With this feature you will always have access to all of your important content at home or on the road.

Seagate was kind enough to send me the Seageate FreeAgent Go Special Edition 500GB hard drive in black chrome. Right out of the box I was impressed with the appearance of the drive. It has a very flashy look that I really like and it looks good sitting on my desk. This drive is available in 500GB and 640GB and comes in red, black and grey chrome. The Free Agent Go Special Edition 500GB drive was super easy to setup and within minutes I was transferring files to this new drive. It took me longer to get the drive out of the package then it did to set it up. I have a 13 year old daughter who is in middle school and my wife and I are very much into digital pictures, MP3’s and blogging so this drive will get a lot of use.
