Tune in all week for hot Back-To-School Giveaways. We’ve got some great prizes for the kids, with a couple of special prizes to pamper mom!!! Look for a new 48-hour giveaway each morning and each afternoon, and be sure to check out all of the current giveaways for other great prizes!
In today’s technology-driven world, the importance of backing up data can’t be understated. Whether you keep important documents or priceless photos on your hard drive, you run the risk of losing it all without proper backups.
The Seagate FreeAgent Go portable hard drive is a great solution for securing your data, especially if your family has more than one computer.
The FreeAgent Go will makes it easy to backup your entire computer and then some. Seagate sent me one of these little contraptions to try out for myself, and seriously, it’s so simple that even my 5 year old could set it up. I just plugged it into the USB port, and the installation process started up automatically.
Features that I love (besides the cool red and chrome colors):
- Automated scheduled backups – one less thing I have to remember is always fine by me!
- Syncs folders between computers – I often switch between my laptop and netbook, so this will be a huge timesaver.
- Docking station – makes keeping it connected to your main computer easy, but it’s also easy to hook up to another computer!
- Password protection of the drive – no worries about curious little people erasing my backed up files!
With 500GB of memory, this external hard drive should have plenty of space to backup my photos, documents, and iTunes music collection safely for many years to come.

Would love this. We are guilty of rarely backing up and I would be devastated at the loss of my family photos!! Not to mention my RSS feeds and starred favorites!

Thanks :)

I do not currently have an external hard drive, but try to clear by files as often as possible onto a CD or flash drive. I have many pictures to store! I am also an architecture student working on my Master’s, so to lose projects and drawings would be devastating!

My oldest son is going to college to study graphic design and this would be perfect for a present to send off with him.
I enjoy getting the e-mails about wonderful offers.

I do not back up my files even though I know that I should. I have many documents and pictures that I would be very upset to lose. Thanks for offering this useful prize!

We back up our data, but do not have enough space currently. We definitely have things we would be devastated to lose. Thanks for the giveaway!
