Excellent Fast and Ultra Portable External Travel Drive.......2007-12-15
First of all I love Seagate and in recent years have only bought Seagate. They're indestructible and I've simply had no problems whatsoever with their drives over the past 10 years.
I've always wondered why they stopped making the predecessor of these mini FreeAgent drives - they were small, black and silver, incredibly durable and just looked really cool on my desk ( I have three). And, you could stack them!! I mean in my opinion, they had really nailed the portable drive case/presentation. It had ultimate protection, cooling, design and it oozed the ipod "cool" factor. Oh well, what do I know, I only bought three.
But, I guess they were working on these new FreeAgent ones. Well, I finally bought one of these and have to admit these are really sweet. Half the size of the black and silver ones that I loved and probably half the weight.
I'm really shocked at how small and light these things are. And, they seem extremely rugged as well.
I haven't checked the stats but they seem at least twice as fast as my older black and silver drives portable external drives. And, thankfully they use the same cable so now I have lots of backup cables.
I highly recommend these - you'll be pleasantly surprised if you haven't seen these live. You can always pop into Staples if you want to check them out in person before you buy.
About the size of a deck of cards.
TIP:
Pick up cheap CD cases when you see them on sale for $2 at Target etc - they make great storage cases for mini hard drives and cables - lots of padding built in with all the pages for CDs - works like a charm.
Good but be aware.......2007-12-07
I purchased this product in August and it's now December and I've had no technical problems with the device. The first "issue" that surprised me is that it takes up two USB slots. This isn't a deal-breaker for me but it was surprising since I've seen several external hard drives with just one. I can chalk that up to not really paying attention during purchase. If you don't have two USB ports next to each other though, your connection will be pretty awkward. The second "issue" was the Ceedo software. I saw what it did in the first couple of minutes and promptly decided it wasn't for me. I wanted to control the file transfers, and organization so I uninstalled it. There haven't been any problems related to the software then or now, just not for me. To be clear, I haven't synced my hard drive to the external, I just use it for storage and manual backups. That process may create problems that are outlined in other reviews.
The size of the drive coupled with the cost made it an easy choice especially given the size. It is light, noiseless, and small. You could easily fit this in a pocket if you needed to but it's very portable nonetheless. I certainly carry it with me while traveling as it holds all of my documents and data for work as well as my movies and music, freeing up tons of space on my hard drive. Accessing data from the drive is reasonably fast.
If it only used one USB port, it would have five stars.
Mac portable users, approach with caution.......2007-12-06
Yup, it happened to me.
My backup Maxtor firewire drive failed during a seemingly innocuous system re-install. 3 days and 2 friends' endless time later, I gave up. An additional week more of scrambling to assemble email attachments, previous CD backups, and file re-creation thankfully left me with most of what was lost.
Thanks to that disaster, I'm now understandably very anal retentive about external backup drives for my Mac portables. Hours of research, purchase/returns at local electronics store...and I now know way too much
about these devices.
The Seagate FreeAgent Go 160GB was one of such devices. It followed attempts at Smartdisk and Western Digital portable USB 2.0, both of which would not mount on any of my portables. Both likewise required a mysterious, and very overpriced external AC adapter for such instances. In sum, the 'intelligent,' dynamic power cycling of the portables didn't pump out enough juice for a lone USB connection sharing data and power over the line.
The FreeAgent Go 160GB seeks to remedy this by requiring two simultaneous USB connections. Unlike its predecessors, Seagate's offering was immediately recognized. Problems is, it became an unwanted houseguest. It never ejected. Even with logouts, restarts, related, the device simply would not disable. A shame, because the thing really is a design masterpiece plus transfers data lightning fast.
To elaborate: Failed ejects mean failed boot and hard drive sectors over time. Simply put, you're messing with power and data literally crossing wires over the same connections. Not recommended for data you can't afford to lose.
In all fairness to Seagate, a similar Hitachi model suffered from the same malady. Three portable USB 2.0 drives and manufacturers later, I've concluded them not a good fit for Mac portable owners.
Problem is, the external hard drive market -- including those powered by AC adapters -- is limited at best. Seagate owns Maxtor. Western Digital and Lacie are notorious for out-of-the-blue hardware failures. Options are limited at best. I ended up (begrudgingly) with a Smartdisk option simply because it wasn't any of the above 4 manufacturers.
For Mac portable owners, 'MacWorld' recommends and reviews various external drives manufactured by smaller companies...but created specifically for Macs. An additional and cost effective option lies in portable drives with enclosures. Still, ensure these enclosures carry intelligent power management to handle laptop environments.
EXCELENT HARDWARE, GOOD SHAPE AND EXCELENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT.......2007-12-03
I BOUGHT THIS ONE, I HAVENT YET TEST TOO MUCH, BUT THE SECOUND DAY I BOUGHT IT I WAS COPYING SOME FILES TO SEAGATE H.D. AND MY COMPUTER CUT OFF SUDENLY, THE NEXT I LOST THE DRIVE, WITH THE SEAGATE SUPPORT I REFOFORMATED THE DRIVE, AND NEXT DOWNLOADED THE SOFTWARE, AND FINALY IT WAS BACK AGAIN... THERE WAS A CRASH ON THE H. D. SOFTWARE, BUT ITSELF IS GREAT.... I STILL WANT TO KNOW HOW TO PARTITION THE DRIVE WITH CEEDO
IT IS JUST GREET>
Perfect for home, work and travel ..........2007-11-27
I spent a couple of hours researching portable hard drives and their brands. After reading an excellent review in one of the PC magazines, I settled on the Seagate brand. This model (FreeAgent Go 160 USB) comes with software called Ceedo, which attempts to give you a desktop on the go - meaning, in theory, you should be able to plug it in to any PC with a USB port and use it as you would at home.
Unfortunately, the "approved" software for Ceedo is extremely limited right now. If you use Internet Explorer, you can take it (and your bookmarks and other settings) anywhere. But other Microsoft Office products are not approved, and neither is any of the other software I use on a daily basis.
In time, this may change, so if you don't need the 8gb of space Ceedo takes, you might keep it for awhile and hope for improvements. Otherwise, I suggest uninstalling it and using the drive for storage (as was my original intention).
On my laptop, which is a year-old Gateway product (1.66 ghz dual processor, 2 gb RAM), the portable drive requires both USB cables to be plugged in, or it doesn't receive sufficient power.
I've stored several games with heavy-duty graphics and processing requirements. These run just fine from the external drive.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the product. As a result of this experience, I just invested in a Seagate 3.5 USB external drive.

Perfect fit.......2007-06-27
Perfect fit, nicely done. About the only thing they could do better is enlarge the hole for the headphones, but I did that with a hole puncher for paper and it works fine.
