Whether you have vital company data or personal files and programs that you need to access, the Seagate Free Agent Go protects your most valuable information via drive-level encryption that provides a more robust solution than most software encryption on the market today. Delivering high-end protection against unauthorized use with encryption for sensitive files, this device keeps your data safe while you're on the go.

It also provides strong file encryption to protect your content, and lets you sync your files from several PCs. With the Seagate Free Agent Go, virtually any computer can temporarily become yours. The software/drive combination allows you to move files or other content quickly via USB 2.0, allowing transfer rate of up to 480 MB/sec for USB. The drive's high-performance spindle speed of 5400 RPM gives you the high-speed performance you need to back your data up quickly and safely. The sleek and slim design of this hard drive--only 0.7 x 3.9 x 4.8-inches (H x D x W)--and a weight of less than four pounds means that you can carry practically your entire desktop with you as you make your rounds from computer to computer. The Free Agent Go software and drive is formatted to work out of the box with Windows operating systems--including Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000--but the drive can easily be made Mac-ready in a few minutes with Mac OS X's Disk Utility. The unit features a sophisticated touch point power on/off switch. Plug in the USB 2.0 cable to a PC and your personal desktop environment launches automatically. To help eliminate even the slightest bit of worry, we've included technical support and a five-year limited warranty.

 Don't Buy--drive died after 3 months -- lost all data August 24, 2008
David Keenan (Austin, Texas)
Warning! Don't buy. I bought this drive based on these excellent Amazon reviews...BUT my drive just died today ... after 3 only months!! It lost all my past backup files! I even gave my drive super-gentle care (it never left my desk or room).
So now I googled the words "FreeAgent Go Problem" & found THOUSANDS of similar complaints. I guess many work great, but an equal number just die (or as the FreeAgent software said: 'no drive connected.' "
Seagate phone & web support has been useless.
They offered to recover my data for a mere $1,400!!!
Hello??! $1,400!!!???? Wow! Now I REALLY hate Seagate.
Pls be careful & avoid this brand. Good luck, dave in austin, tx
 Decent, for its kind August 21, 2008
A. Gege (Baltimore, MD)
Overall, I'd say decent. Note that actual storage capacity is 149 gigs. No need for pre-installed software or the use of both USB cords. Just format the hard drive to clear the pre-installed components and use it like a simple flash drive. No extra software. After formatting, only the larger of two cords is needed for the USB port, to connect the hard drive to the computer. I find it much easier to transfer stuff back and forth from PHD (portable hard drive) to computer without Ceedo. For this price, this lightweight and durable (I own two and they both get banged around quite a bit) PHD is a pretty deal. Because of the size, media (music, movies) doesn't fit so this one's probably more appropriate for light backup storage and such.
Nice drive, avoid the addons August 13, 2008
Pablo Alsina (Uruguay)
I needed a "big pendrive", and this disk works just like that. It's small enough to be truly portable but holds enough data to allow me to backup my notebook once in a while, and keep some photos, videos and alike at hand.
I would suggest to keep out of the software addons. I use SyncToy to backup my data, even when the drives comes with software I found too complicated and invasive to use. I drive is a drive, dont add a bag of crap to it.
Good choice August 10, 2008
Christopher Rau
I remember seeing this product for way less than all of the other vender's were selling it for. I wasn't sure if I should go with them, since there weren't as many reviews on their service, I went ahead and bought it and was really pleased. Came in on time and in great condition.

This little external is fantastic. There are no batteries required, unlike some of the larger models from seagate. The size of the thing is very convenient for taking it to and from college; it's about the size of a wallet. The program used for managing your files on the external is very simplistic and non arduous compared to some of the other external drive software that makes you load the friken program for 5 hours before you can transfer anything - this program is just drag and drop or cut and paste. Lastly, the storage capacity on this external is very sensible, you really don't need any more space than roughly 150 MB of storage unless your an animator or something like that.
