  • Price; modern design; variety of colours and capacities; thinnest drive on the market
  • Short USB cord
  • The Seagate FreeAgent Go is our favourite portable hard drive to date. The drive is well designed and fast, with a good transfer rate, and you won't find a better value for the price ...

  • Abstract:  Seagates sleek, stylish FreeAgent Go looks like a shrunken version of its larger FreeAgent Desk hard disks. An optional docking station costs £14, but this seems pointless as the Go works perfectly using the included mini USB cable. We were mildly...

  • Abstract:  The Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB hard drive not only gives you a ton of extra space to backup anything on your computer, (assuming your computer's hard drive is less than 500 GB of course) but also looks nice sitting on your desk. There are a bunch of little ...

  • Abstract:  Everybody needs a lot more digital storage these days, even your grandma. Most people have tons of music, videos, photos, and documents all in digital format. An average person's digital collection of media would easily fill several rooms if they w...

  • The Seagate FreeAgent Go 640GB and 1TB external USB 2.0 drives proved to be the quietest such devices we've had the pleasure of using. Their acoustics are so good that even the most demanding no-noise proponents should have no complaints. The decent p...

  • Attractive, Reasonably priced, Buspowered convenience, Included software is useful and/or amusing
  • Buspowered convenience means buspowered speeds (5400rpm drives)
  • Seagate has a real winner. The drive is attractive, functional, light-weight, and comparably priced. The line of Seagate Go drives offers a wide variety of colors, drive sizes, and accessories (docks, cases) to fit a wide range of needs. The whole seri...

  • The drive's performance was, in most respects, in line with current expectations for this class of USB 2.0 drives. If you value speed above all else, there are ways to get more of it (and with more consistency) in this form factor, though at a higher ...

  • We have done a lot of work in the past with manufacturers of external hard drives. The bundled software is usually pretty decent but I have to say that for a film maker the Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB External Hard Drive and Muvee Bundle takes the cake....
