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/FireWire 400 interfaces, USB 2.0 cable, FireWire cable, AC power adapter, and a quick start guide.
Product Description
Ideal for accessing your content from anywhere, sharing it with anyone, and syncing it to almost anything, FreeAgent Pro allows you to automatically move your content to multiple locations, share your pictures online and automatically update without even thinking about it, and many more.

 Great External Drive At Reasonable Cost August 18, 2008
I bought two of these 18 months ago and love them! I use them as working drives for video editing and have never had a problem, even daisy-chained with two older external drives. The extra firewire port can also be used to hook up a video camera with the computer.
I noted a few other comments about heat output and failure to go to sleep. My drives are hot on the bottom and they do not go to sleep when the computer is idle, but I don't perceive either state to be a performance issue. The glow is kinda cool in the dark!
Easy, no-fuss backup August 17, 2008
This external hard drive gave me exactly what I was looking for: an easy, solid way to keep my laptop backed up. The software makes it easy to select what and when you want to back up. Installation was easy and straightforward as well. I'm quite happy with this product.
 Flakey with Mac G5 August 14, 2008

This drive is very unstable with my G5. There were problems with file transfers and it would constantly disappear from my desktop. I've had no problems with Lacie or OWC.
Not as happy as I should be August 10, 2008

Good product, well reviewed, good price, runs quiet..........however
my drive would power up and shut down repeatedly. Never got my computer to recognize the device because it wouldn't stay powered up. After an hour on the phone with tech support they told me to mail it back with a website to give me a pre- printed return address label. That's all cool, but in the fine print, your mailing cost to send it back is on the buyer and the returned unit will still have the 5 yr warranty but may be factory reconditioned. Hard to feel good about paying an extra $10 to ship and getting a less than new device!
 Failed two hours out of the box August 9, 2008

Very disappointed with this purchase(return).
Setup was a snap, but it quit on me while backing up 120 gigs of data. I tried a smaller backup (1.2 gigs) and the drive failed on 99% of the backup... then it just quit all together and was not recognized by my Mac.
Disk verification and repair (on my Mac) both showed errors on the Seagate drive that were unfixable.
