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.
What's in the Box

 So far, so good with this Seagate January 9, 2009
Edoras (Rohan)
I've been very happy with this harddrive. After putting off having something on which to back up files for too long, it provides a solid sense of relief to have this unit. The performance has been about what I would expect. There are not unduly long waiting times to back up a few GB of files and the hardware works properly when interfacing with Windows XP without having to worry about drivers. I was very pleasantly surprised when the unit completely survived a 2.5 foot fall onto hard wood floors (thanks to my cord-tripping golden retriever).
I haven't yet found anything to dislike with this product in the 2 months I've owned it.
 a data (LIFE) saver!! January 8, 2009
this is the best thing anyone could have suggested i buy! my sister an IT techie bought it for me after my laptop crashed and I lost most of my data. i have been using it ever since. yesterday my laptop crashed again and there were no tears because all my stuff was SAVED!!!
Buy one! there is no price on saved data
Great product, fair price January 8, 2009

I bought this 500 GB external hard drive to back up my data, I've had it for a few months and all I can say is that I'm very happy with it. The write speeds are very fast, 500 GB is a lot and I say a fair amount for around $100. The build seems solid enough, although I'm sure there's external hard drives out there with a more solid, compact, space-efficient build with better materials, but this one will do. Very attractive case, I really like the orange light on the side. Powered by an outlet plug, so this is not for those who are looking for externals only powered by USB. I like the software it comes with, the sync features are very useful, good brand name, great product!!!

This was a great purchase. It come with software for drive management, and was a great deal for the amount of space. I do wish it could be switchable between Mac and PC but even still great product. highly recommended.
Good product for small price January 6, 2009
Danis Tazetdinov
I needed external HDD as data storage (rare usage, I do not use it as "big flash drive").
It was best value for this price.
Only thing - it requires AC power adapter (some external drives can work on USB power), but for home use it is not a big problem.
