  • Good performance, Attractive design with brushed metal finish, Automatic backup, encryption, and synchronization software
  • Separate Windows and Mac versions, Windows version lacks FireWire port
  • Overall, the 320GB Seagate FreeAgent Go is one of the better portable hard drives we’ve tested. For $149, you’re getting a drive that offers style, very good performance, and easy-to-use software.
