Amazon.com Product Description
For the person who needs access to their digital content away from home, at work, or online, while also allowing that same content to be shared in a secure setting, look no further than the Seagate Free Agent Pro Portable Hard Drive. This powerful portable hard drive delivers high-speed transfers, while also giving you the ability to share content with others safely and securely from a remote location or even online.



Powerful storage device with a sleek new design.


This hip-looking hard drive takes up less room on your desk than an ordinary stapler.


Share your content with others safely and securely.
With up to 1 Terabyte and an ultra-slim design for a clutter-free desktop, your FreeAgent Pro external hard drive helps keep you safe from goof-ups by automatically saving new versions of your content that you can easily access if need be. And should something happen to your PC, you can roll back your Windows operating system, settings, and applications to a point in time when they ran smoother, like before a virus attack. Even though the system settings are taken back in time, updates to photos, music and critical data files are kept current.

The Free Agent Pro is also ideal for those who want quick and painless transfers of their data from their computer to their drive, and from their drive to online accounts (such as Shutterfly or email). Simply plug it in to any power source and 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--1 x 3 x 5.2 inches (H x D x W)-- giving you more space for your other desktop items. Meanwhile, the hard drive only measures 7.5 x 1.4 x 6.3-inches (H x D x W) and it matches its small base.

High Speed Synchronization and Sharing
The Free Agent Pro data mover automatically duplicates and moves selected content from your hard drive to multiple locations, such as copying your contact lists and emails to your iPod, or photos to a Shutterfly account. This feature also allows you to move your entire 'My Documents' folder to the Free Agent, or move it to your own online space where you (or others you choose) can access it from any browser 24/7. The Free Agent software also offers the feature of rolling back your system to better time if something should happen to your PC while automatic revisions of your content help keep you safe from goof-ups.

Move files or other content with either USB 2.0, eSATA, or FireWire 400 allowing a maximum transfer rate of 480Mb/sec for USB, and 3Gb/sec for eSATA, while delivering a high performance spindle speed of 7,200 RPM. The unit also comes with a sophisticated touch point power on/off switch.

The Free Agent Pro software and drive formatting works only with Windows, but the drive can easily be reformatted for a Mac with OS X's Disk Utility. This portable hard drive is also compatible with Windows Vista (as well as Windows XP and Windows 2000), allowing you to backup your content regardless of operating system upgrades. A five-year warranty is also included, giving you complete peace of mind. Now with the ability to take your data with you anywhere you go, your digital content finally has room to breathe.


What's in the Box
FreeAgent Pro data mover drive, Free Agent software (preloaded) and electronic documentation, USB2.0/eSATA/FireWire400 interfaces, USB 2.0 cable, FireWire cable, AC power adapter, and a quick start guide.


Customer Reviews


Great Product! (2008-02-27)
I bought Seagate 320 a couple months ago and i back up everything on my home pc. No Issues, Very idiot Proof. Just plug and play through the USB ports. Whats great is that there is a Fire wire and Esata data transfer. They give a back up program that automatically backs up what you specify. The only con is that there is no power button. I just plug it in once every weak or two to back up. For the price and size storage you cant go wrong.


Seagate as Time Machine (2008-02-23)
Very easy to install, you just plug it in. My Mac recognized it and Time Machine (the new automatic backup) was up and running.


firewire connection stopped working in 2 weeks. (2008-02-15)
The firewire connection stopped working in 2 weeks. The usb connection is still working (another week later), but I don't have a lot of faith in this as a backup drive.


Easy set up! (2008-02-11)
Easy set up. It does the job. I would recommend it to anyone who simply wants a back up drive for their pictures and files.


Does what is supposed to do (2008-01-18)
No problems with it. I like that it shuts down and starts up with the computer. My initial backup of about 50gb using the Firewire took awhile but that may be more my computer than the drive.
