| | | | Product Guides | | | | | 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.
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 250 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.

1 of 5 Seagate is an absolute sham of a company Monday, December 29, 2008
Chieh-Li Lee from Los Angeles
I've had the pleasure of experiencing the crappy product and dealing with their people first hand. Needless to say I'm never buying another seagate or maxtor product for the rest of my life and I've made it my mission to alert the rest of world of my awful experience with them. I purchased one of their freeagent last november (2007). It broke down in august (2008). I had to ship it back at my own expense. The replacement only worked for 3 months. I had to ship that one back at my own expense as well. They promised to ship me a maxtor in replacement instead. Never happened. They sent me another freeagent. They told me to refuse to accept the product which I did but this caused so much confusion to their warranty division, I'm still without a hard drive as of now (december 28). Needless to say, I'm never buying another seagate or maxtor product for the rest of my life. Was this review helpful?

JA from Omaha, Nebraska
This hard drive was very easy to setup out of the box. The access time is VERY short. I would recommend a Seagate to anyone looking for external storage options. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Up and running quickly Sunday, November 09, 2008
Satisfied from Yakima, Washington
As soon as I received the Seagate, I followed the directions and it was up and running quickly. Not any problems so far. I really like the fact that it automatically backs up files every day at a specified time. Was this review helpful?

E. Roberts from Tampa, FL
The product arrived quickly and was ready to go right out of the box. I did not load the software that came with it just backed up files from several laptops (via copy to new drive). Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Seagate Agent Free Great! Saturday, October 25, 2008
A Customer from Hope, IN
Took it out of the box. Plugged it into the USB and have used it for many months. Recently, unplugged it, plugged it into an MacBook and transfered a bunch of data. It acts like a giant, USB flash drive. Has been plugged in all the time for 6 months with no problems. Bought another one for a MacBook. I think it is great and easy to use. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 No Problems Monday, October 20, 2008
DRE from SHREVEPORT, LA
I bought this item about a month ago and it works like a charm. I wasnt sure about saving all of my pics and music on the hard drive, and I ask around and researched different hard drives. I bought this one because of the reviews and it seem that it was a good choice. It runs quiet, you barely notice it if you do not see it, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT DID NOT BUST MY POCKET. I plan to get the 1tb for my home recording studio later. "YOU GOT A NEW CUSTOMER" Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Excellent!!! Easy Set Up, Works Perfect Monday, October 20, 2008
Larry from Cobb, CA
I couldn't be happier with this drive. Setup was as easy as installing the software and plugging it in. It backs up all my important data automatically at the time I set every night. Make sure you turn off the energy saving feature so it's not asleep when it's supposed to back up. It doesn't seem to know it needs to wake up to do the backup function otherwise.
All the positive feedback on this device tell the story very well. Thanks everyone for turning me on to a great product. Was this review helpful?
1 of 5 Stay away from the Seagate FreeAgent model Monday, October 20, 2008
nicksgsr from Baltimore, Maryland
This is a piece of junk. I initially bought two for dual back-ups. My mistake. The first one failed on initial power-up (bad cheap transformer). The second unit failed in the second week with read errors after transferring 100GB. The replacement failed in the third week - after I had transferred 400 GB. Constant read errors with head recals. Data non-recoverable. Seagate support said they would get back to me - I'm still waiting. So much for offshore support.
When they did work they were slow. So the failures cost me a lot of time and now I wouldn't trust them with any important data. Seagate usually makes solid products, but these were junk. Moved to dual WD 500 GB drives. Few dollars more, but no problems. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great so far Tuesday, October 14, 2008
makewet from San Francisco
I've only had it for a month or so now, but this external drive is working flawlessly. It's it's easy to connect and back up my music. It was super inexpensive for the size and it arrived quickly. No complaints so far. Was this review helpful?
