  • The Seagate FreeAgent Go distinguishes itself with its sleek looks, unconventional disk activity LED, wide choice of colours, and an optional docking station (Go Dock). Pricing is in line with the segment, and wide availability helps too....

  • The FreeAgent Go is a great USB 2.0 drive, Solid performance, Attractively styled, Competitively priced, Price is basically the same with or without the movie
  • Unlocking movie hopefully goes better for everyone else, Web portal to access movies is compatible only with Internet Explorer 7+, Movies only play in Windows Media Player 10+ or on FreeAgent Theater+, Not high definition: Movie has resolution of just 720x300
  • The Seagate FreeAgent Go series of drives have been available for quite some time now, and despite some cosmetic changes and increases in storage capacities, they have remained about the same. While change is generally considered to be a good thing, wh...

  • All eight portable drives we tested work well if you mainly need a device to store large amounts of user data that doesn't depend much on performance. As soon as you apply more demanding workloads, it's time to start paying more attention to the way yo...

  • Similar to the Model T you can have any color of the 1Tb Free Agent Go as long as its black. Outside of that issue (can you really call that an issue?) I couldn't find a problem with Seagate's largest portable hard drive. The idea of being able to...

  • Sleek, Slim, Ultra Portable, Metal Top and Bottom Plates, Hot Swappable, 3 USB 2.0 ports on the dock, Handy Carrying Case, Excellent Software Package, Powered by a Single USB Port
  • Packaging Needs an Overhaul, USB Cord for Drive is too Short, Metal Plates are not Securely Attached to the Casing
  • The Seagate FreeAgent GO drive met the performance standard for it's class. There was nothing spectacular or overly significant about the FreeAgent GO's performance, but it certainly didn't dissapoint. The FreeAgent GO stood up to it's tes...

  • Decent transfer rate, USB powered, Quiet, Auto-backup, sync, and encryption capable, 5 year warranty, Carrying case and docking station available
  • No carrying case included, USB cable integrated into the housing would be nice
  • The 1TB Seagate FreeAgent Go performs respectably, with transfer rates you might expect from your typical USB hard drive. In some tests it outperformed the other drives on hand, while in others it lagged a bit behind. The slight differences in benchma...

  • Small, huge capacity, well-priced, easy to carry,
  • The basic cradle should come packaged with it rather than be an add-on

  • Huge storage space in a portable drive; fast read times
  • A bit thicker, heavier than other portable drives; backup software is limiting and Windows-only; some stability issues observed with backup app
  • If maximum pocketable storage is what you crave, the FreeAgent Go 1TB is a good choice, though you'll want to BYO backup software. ...

  • Abstract:  It’s now getting to that point where higher capacity bus-powered hard drives are becoming more mainstream. Storage companies slowly started creeping up to 500GB and until just recently, it was stuck there. Now they’ve discovered how to fit more layers ...

  • Abstract:  The Seagate FreeAgent Go is a 1TB, USB-powered hard drive that works. What more do you wanna know? I just got the 1TB FreeAgent Go Portable Drive from Seagate and I’m impressed. First off, it’s not that large. I mean, it’s sort-of bulky compared to S...
