Seagate FreeAgent Go Review and Giveaway
Monday, September 28, 2009
In today’s computer savvy world everything seems to be done online via computer. With movies online, MP3 files and digital pictures it takes more hard drive space to save all of these files. Seagate comes to the rescue with their simple to use FreeAgent family of storage solutions for people who require more hard drive space.
FreeAgent drives come in many different storage options up to 1.5 terabytes and have drives as small as 320GB with a USB 2.0 interface making data transfer very fast. With such a wide range of options Seagate offers a drive for every situation with enough space to fit all of your precious memories. Seagate FreeAgent drives include hassle free installation and setup in minutes with NO CD. Another feature of the FreeAgent Go drives is the world’s first desktop dock and travel kit so you can use your drive with your desktop as well as your laptop. With this feature you will always have access to all of your important content at home or on the road.
Seagate was kind enough to send me the Seageate FreeAgent Go Special Edition 500GB hard drive in black chrome. Right out of the box I was impressed with the appearance of the drive. It has a very flashy look that I really like and it looks good sitting on my desk. This drive is available in 500GB and 640GB and comes in red, black and grey chrome. The Free Agent Go Special Edition 500GB drive was super easy to setup and within minutes I was transferring files to this new drive. It took me longer to get the drive out of the package then it did to set it up. I have a 13 year old daughter who is in middle school and my wife and I are very much into digital pictures, MP3’s and blogging so this drive will get a lot of use.For those of you who are tech geeks like myself here are some additional technical specifications:
PC Requirements*
• Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate, or Business Service Pack-1
• Windows XP Home, Professional, Media Center Edition Service Pack-2
* Compatibility may vary depending on user’s hardware configuration and operating system
• USB 2.0 Port
Product Dimensions
•3.15 in Horiz x 5.12 in Vert in x 0.49 in
•Depth (80.00 mm x 130.00 mm x 12.50 mm)
•Weight: 0.35 lbs (0.16 kg)
Performance Specs
•USB 2.0: up to 480 Mb/s
In the Box
• FreeAgent Go drive
• FreeAgent software pre-loaded on drive (Windows only)
• Quickstart guide
• Flexible USB travel cable - 18 inches
• Optional dock and case sold separately
So if you find yourself in need of additional hard drive space check out Seagate and pick up an external FreeAgent drive. You will definitely be impressed with its quality, dependability and performance.
Seagate wants to give LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers the chance to win a FreeAgent Go Special Edition 500GB drive of there own. Visit Seagate and tell me what product would be useful to your family.

My husband is an amateur photog, so we have a TON of pics saved. We would be able to put any of the hard drives to good use, especially 500 gigs and up.

This contest and review came at a great time. I have 2 computers that have been having major issues and I have tons of digital pics on both! I've been asking around about external hard drives so this was awesome timing. I like 2 at Seagate: FreeAgent Go™ Special Edition and the FreeAgent Extreme! I'll do some more research into both to see what will fit my needs the most.
