Amazon.com Product Description:
When its time to back up and protect your digital content--photos, music, documents, and more--it doesn't get much easier than the Seagate Free Agent Desktop USB Portable Hard Drive. Simply plug it in to any power source, connect the USB cable to any computer, and you're ready to go. This hip-looking hard drive takes up less room on your desk than an ordinary stapler, giving you more space for your other desktop items.
Portable Performance and Security
If you're still relying on your personal computer or back-up CDs or DVDs to store your digital content or vital personal or family documents, you're running an unnecessary risk. Your computer can only hold so many files and can crash at any time, leaving you helpless to access your content. DVDs and CDs have a place in archiving, but they get easily scratched and lost. It's too risky to store everything in your computer, and too time-consuming and cumbersome to have a drawer full of CDs or DVDs.
Computers come and go, but your content should always be nearby. With up to 1000 glorious gigabytes, the Free Agent external hard drive is the best place to gather and access all of your important photos, movies, music, games and documents. Simply plug in the power and the USB cable and you're ready to go.
The Seagate Free Agent is big enough to store a huge portion of your digital content in a safe and secure environment, but small enough to let you take that content with you wherever you go. In other words, having the Seagate Free Agent is like having your entire computer with you at all times, but in a package that's a small fraction of the space and weight of your computer.
Designed to live peacefully in your home or office, the Free Agent external hard drive is extra quiet and takes up less room on your desk than a stapler. Even the cable ports are base-mounted to help keep your desk free of clutter. We even add a little bit of sophistication to your desktop with the unique espresso brown finish and molten amber illumination.
The sleek and slim design of this hard drive--only measures 7.5 x 1.6 x 6.4-inches (H x D x W)--and a weight of less than four pounds. The Seagate Free Agent lets you transfer files seamlessly from your computer via its USB 2.0 connection at a brisk transfer rate of up to 480Mb/sec. The drive delivers a spindle speed of 7,200 RPM, giving you the high-speed performance you need to back your data up quickly and safely.
The Seagate Free Agent is ready to use out of the box with a PC, but it can be made Mac-ready in a matter of minutes with Mac OS X's Disk Utility. This portable hard drive is already compatible with Windows Vista (as well as Windows XP and Windows 2000), allowing you to backup your content regardless of operating system upgrades.
At this compact size, and with this high performance, you now have the ability to take your data with you anywhere you go, so your digital content finally has room to breathe. A five-year warranty is also included, giving you complete peace of mind.
What's in the Box
FreeAgent Desktop drive, USB 2.0 cable, AC power adapter, and quick start guide.

I have had this item for close to 2 year without a single problem. I use it as an external harddrive. All my music, videos, pictures, docuemnts, and software are all stored on this drive. No need for me to back-up as I save everything to this drive. It keeps my PC running smoothly.
I also have to drive shared so that all three of my PC use this drive for storage I have so many files and I still have over 175 GB of space left.
I will get another one to back up this one ... Read More
Rating: - Have had no problems in 3 years
I plug into the wall.I plug USB port into computer.It asks do I want to back up my computer onto the Seagate.I say yes.It backs up everything.Same thing, once a week.
When my old computer died I plugged in Seagate and it restored all my stuff on new computer.
I have no clue why anyone would have a problem - just not my experience.
Rating: - Nice Product
Very Nice product. Works great. Back-up software is lacking a bit, but the drive functions nice and does the job.

If you can keep from getting irritated at the failure rate and keep a backup elsewhere.Boy do I wish I had known about that BEFORE I had bought one.
I have had my segate drive for a little over a year now with minimal problems.Since I use many different computers it has held all my stuff.About 8 months ago it began to malfunction.It began to get abnormally hot, the computer would complain about memory loss (and worse, that it didn't recognise the drive), and it wouldn't shut ...

This was my 1st external drive & was a bit weary since you read so many good & bad reviews for various drives...it goes w/o saying that ALL manufacter brands make the occasional "dud".But after some research, I think there are more Freeagent duds then good ones...
The first day I got this drive in the mail, I used it & it worked perfectly.Managed to back up my entire music & video collection & uploaded plenty of pictures.3 whole days later I wanted to back-up some CD files...only ... Read More
