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. 
Powerful storage device with a sleek new design. | 
Takes up less room on your desk than a stapler. | 
Keep all your digital content in a safe and secure location. | 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.

 Seagate USB 2.0 External Hard Drive November 14, 2008
Martin Abel (Austin, Tx, USA)
I was very satisfied with this product. Everything was as described and that it this low cost.
Awesome product November 10, 2008
T. Schrank
This hard drive works perfectly! It is as quiet as can be, is super easy to navigate, and looks really sleek. I thought about getting an external hard drive with less space, but once I actually started storing things on here, I was glad I got the 1TB version. Plus I got the most memory per dollar, so it was definitely worth it.
Seagate 1TB Hard Drive External November 10, 2008
Kuljeet Mathur
This drive works like a charm, just plug n play, currently using Windows Vista. I previously had an external casing & a Western Digiatal Hardrive 250 GB that was noisy & also the casing used to get heated, but this is the best i have ever used:
1. Completely silent Operation
2. Doesn't heats up
3. Plug & play no separate drivers needed.
A very nice backup system well-built and well-designed November 8, 2008
Roger J. Buffington (Huntington Beach, CA United States)
I have been a PC nut since the Apple II and original IBM PC, and backup technology is just now getting good for us small office and home users. I have tried tape backup units, DVDs, and other classic solutions, never with real confidence that my data was stored safely. This 1TB HDD from Seagate really is a superb backup unit. On the competent advice of my IT professional, I bought two of these, one for my business, one for my home office.
The unit is very nicely built, with an attractive black finish and it stands vertically. It has a large orange vertical LED the brightness of which indicates whether the unit is working or on standby. The unit is very compact. If you need more than one later, you can stand them next to one another without taking up much space. But 1TB is enough storage for a LOT of files. Of course, in a year or two no doubt there will be units of the same physical size that store multiple terabytes. Nevertheless, for now, 1TB is a lot!
The unit installed effortlessly. You simply plug it into the power supply, and attach the USB (or firewire) connector to the computer. On my Vista Premium Home Edition machine, a menu came right up asking me if I wanted to install the backup software with which the unit comes equipped. I let it do so, and in a minute or so the software was installed and the 1TB HDD was shown in my Computer directory as ready to go. No need for reading anything; true plug and play. The unit is quiet and unobtrusive; it just does its job without annoying the user in any way. Nice!
I did install the backup software, and it seems to be very nice. In fact, this is the first time in years that I have seen backup software that I thought was better than just doing the backups manually. One complaint (minor) is that the backup software makes you specify each directory on a drive by checking a box. I would prefer an option that just lets me back up an entire drive. No big deal. The software enabled me to schedule a nightly backup every night, and that is an absolute first for me for my home office. A very nice feeling to know that one has one's files safely backed up. And one can easily view the contents of the unit to actually see the backed-up files.
This is a USB2 unit, so transfer speeds are not as fast as a SCSI drive would be, but usually this is not an issue with the type of use I plan, as routine backups and storage in increments does not take long. It did take roughly 1 hour twenty-five minutes to move about 34 GB of photo files from my little USB HDD to this unit; that is one USB2 unit to another, so it was bound not to be real speedy.
Incidentally, the unit is formated NTFS, so no need to reformat it to get rid of FAT32 format as is the case with some drives. It truly was ready to go for my Vista system.
So far I am extremely pleased with this unit. It is a fast, well-built, well-designed and cost-effective solution to mass storage of data.
