OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Life should be easy. All too often, electronics, especially computer peripherals, require excessive amounts of skull sweat to get everything to work right. Luckily, Seagate understands how to make it easy. When you need to back up your digital content, of any type, it doesn't get much easier than the Seagate Free Agent Desktop 250GB USB Portable Hard Drive.

Simply 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 most office tools, but has the capacity to hold the files you need.

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. Seagate comes to the rescue of your accumulating library of data, and for a price that won’t leave too big a hole in your wallet!

I like my new Seagate FreeAgent!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Working like a champ so far. Runs very cool and quiet. The packaging is nicer than I though it would be. A shiny dark chocolate brown that looks black in dim lighting. The pulsing (Apple-like) yellow activity indicator is sharp too. New technology cooling mechanism designed by Seagate seems to do the trick and hopefully will extended this drive's life expectancy.
Cons: I wish it had an on-off switch for when I'm not using it. Have to pull the cord to turn it off.
Other Thoughts: Given the reliability issues with USB external drives it's nice to see Seagate enter the game. I think they have a winner here.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Good quality, size. Been fiercly moving/copying data past couple days and its gone great so far. Works perfectly out of the box. Plug it in and you're good to go.

Been using it to play music for hooours and it's not very warm.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Design is a bit odd. Big yellow light bar runs vertically at the front, its a nice dim yellow though, so it's not too intrusive.

Good storage for a good price

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very quiet, slightly gets warm, but was never hot.
Cons: It would be awesome if there was an on/off button on it. Usually, it just activates when you plug in the USB cable into the PC.
Other Thoughts: I've been using it for mostly game storage. I do run several programs directly form it, and it hasn't failed me.
