Powerful storage device with a sleek new design.

Compact size makes it great for on-the-go travel.

It’s all about having your desktop environment and latest files with you - when and where you need them. Designed for mobility, the sleek compact design easily fits into your shirt pocket, briefcase or backpack.

High-Speed Synchronization and Security
Whether you have vital company data or personal files and programs that you need to access, the Seagate Free Agent Go protects your most valuable information via drive-level encryption that provides a more robust solution than most software encryption on the market today. Delivering high-end protection against unauthorized use with encryption for sensitive files, this device keeps your data safe while you're on the go.

And not to worry, your Free Agent Go portable hard drive saves all of your private information on itself, not on the computer you’re using. That means there’s no trace of your last session to tempt the next person on a borrowed computer. It also provides strong file encryption to protect your content, and lets you sync your files from several PCs.

With the Seagate Free Agent Go, virtually any computer can temporarily become yours. The software/drive combination allows you to move files or other content quickly via USB 2.0, allowing transfer rate of up to 480 MB/sec for USB. The drive's high-performance spindle speed of 5400 RPM gives you the high-speed performance you need to back your data up quickly and safely. The sleek and slim design of this hard drive--only 0.7 x 3.9 x 4.8-inches (H x D x W)--and a weight of less than four pounds means that you can carry practically your entire desktop with you as you make your rounds from computer to computer.

The Free Agent Go software and drive is formatted to work out of the box with Windows operating systems--including Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000--but the drive can easily be made Mac-ready in a few minutes with Mac OS X's Disk Utility. The unit features a sophisticated touch point power on/off switch. Plug in the USB 2.0 cable to a PC and your personal desktop environment launches automatically. To help eliminate even the slightest bit of worry, we’ve included technical support and a five-year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
Free Agent Go portable drive, Free Agent software (preloaded) and electronic documentation, USB 2.0 cable, and a quick start guide.

Customer Reviews

Faster than a speeding bullet
This drive is so FAST that it makes my Western Digital Passport appear to be spinning backward. The syncing software works perfectly initially and while performing incremental backups. I did not set up the Ceedo software as yet so I cannot comment on that. Did I say fast?? - Ultra-fast!! Add to that - the longest warranty (5 years!). Actually, I bought this drive for a friend and now I am totally envious.

So far so good
I bought this product about a month ago. It works perfectly so far. Although i have to say that even if you implement the password through the software you can still access the disk (on a PC) through the computer screen. So that aspect is a little pointless. Other than that, I like the device so far. I will be back if the item fails. Although my understanding so far is that all external hard drives have a tendency to do so. I love having the extra space. Like i said, so far so good.

Perfect
I ordered it from enumclaw and it was delivered next day, new condition, with ground shipping. Maybe it shipped from seattle, but hey, it works for me.
