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 500GB 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, but with the capacity to hold the files you need protected. Access to the items on the drive is password-protected, so you can give permissions to whomever you choose without compromising your personal data.



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.

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.

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
FreeAgent desktop drive, USB 2.0 cable, AC power adapter, and quick start guide.

5 out of 5 stars Even works for Dummies!.......2007-12-28

It should be illegal to sell most computer equipment to someone as technologically challenged as myself but this thing is "a piece of cake." Kinda like a big honkin' flash drive with an A/C powercord. At 500GB, I never even want to know as much info as this thing will store. Backed up EVERYTHING from my MAC on it and it was like putting a B-B in a Boxcar! For my home use, even with mountains of photos and graphics, the storage capacity of this thing is nothing short of "cavernous."

1 out of 5 stars I lost over 7 years of data..........2007-12-28

I didn't knew that with a little fall over the table...obiously an accident i had, the drive just refuse to work, stopped working, cant be recognized anymore, emits a low buzzing and beeps every once in awhile....with all my data inside with no chance to return it to my pc, about 7 years of data. Then i just fell in anger and destroyed the drive...i think not even 10.000 years of warranty can cover that....BTW, no more seagate products in the future, at least not the freeagent.

1 out of 5 stars Died after 1 month.......2007-12-27

Well, I lost all my data within a month. The drive just died one fine day. I cracked it open and discovered the circuit board was burnt. I thought I could atleast get my data back by putting the drive in an external enclosure. No luck there as the drive itself seems dead. Well thats the last time I buy a Seagate. There are a ton of bad reviews about this thing on the net, so be careful. Buy it only of you don't care about the data you put on it.

5 out of 5 stars Seagate 500GB USB Drive.......2007-12-26

The drive was easy to connect and begin using right out of the box; 1 1/2 minutes were required to be precise to get the drive up and running. It is totally plug and go and it is powerful and fast. I'm a computer professional and it is all I expected of a external hard drive. I would buy it again.

My recommendation: buy this Seagate 500GB drive if you are in the market for a lot of extra external computer storage.

2 out of 5 stars It annoys me -- find a different one........2007-12-12

I've always had good luck with Seagate drives... But this drive really sucks, I am already looking for a replacement after 2 months.

It frequently makes a loud high pitched noise.
And it frequently goes missing from my machine -- I have to power cycle the drive to get it to show up.

Get a different drive. Other reviewers seem to see similar problems.
I didn't believe them at first, but I believe them now.
