  • Well designed, Attractive appearance, Includes backup, sync and encryption software, Runs off one USB connection, Increased functionality with certain Seagate docks
  • Separate Windows and Mac versions, Environmentally unfriendly clamshell plastic packaging, Seagate Manager software does not work with Windows Vista 64 bit
  • Seagates revamp of their FreeAgent Go line is a big success. The new drives look and feel like they are meant to last. Their brushed metal appearance makes these drives look sleek and sexy. Want to personalize the drive so more? Then hop on over to Mu...

  • As you can see from the numbers above, the FreeAgent Go doesn’t compete with other hard drives but it does outperform the flash drives we have tested in the past. Combine that with a much higher storage capacity at a reasonable price and you have a...

  • In conclusion, the Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB ST905003FGA2E1-RK who loves the ability to take their files with them wherever they go, but hates to be bogged down by a weighty drive. With backup and encryption abilities you can be safe in the fact that ...

  • Fantastic warranty and support, Preinstalled software bundle adds significant value, Aluminum construction; attractive accents, Device is well built; no vibration or rattling
  • Provided USB cable is rather short, Carrying case should be offered with HDD, not the dock, Software may be too watered down for some power users
  • The idea of designing an effective external storage solution is not an easy one. The device must be convenient, it must be portable, it must be easy-to-use, and most importantly, it must be affordable. This last consideration can be the most difficult ...

  • Slim, lightweight design; foolproof operation; drive-management software includes backup and encryption functions
  • Short USB cable makes it inconvenient to use with some desktops; file encryption isn’t hardware-based
  • The Seagate FreeAgent Go is a top-value buy among portable hard drives, with a great form factor and bundled backup software. ...

  • Abstract:  The FreeAgent Go is the latest in Seagate’s stylish FreeAgent series of external hard drives. The line is designed for road warriors, but will work just fine in a crowded desk situation, where the extra space taken up by the Go’s larger siblings can’t ...

  • Abstract:  With the fast-moving world all around us, portability is usually the answer to all of our problems. We like things that are big in functionality, but come in small packages. What about all of the large file storage problems though? Seagate has the answ...
