FreeAgent Go Portable Hard Drive

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.

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a FreeAgent Go 500GB portable hard drive!

    I have a rotating “to do” on my task list to back up photos monthly. My work hard drive gets backed up weekly. My hard drive crashed a couple months into my daughter’s life and I almost lost my pics…hence the monthly “to do”! :)

    i would LOVE this, my old one is filled up with OLD things so i have to back up the most recent pics (couldnt stand to lose them!) and we got a new scanner so we can be paperless *crossed fingers* I would love this Hard drive!

  7. Emily

    I back up my computer fairly regularly. There are a lot of documents and pictures I would be very upset about losing if my computer crashed.

  9. Kari

    I would be lost if I didn’t backup my computer! And I need to do it more often. I tend to wait to long, then have a crisis when it crashes.

  13. Jaime

    Our first child is eight months old and adorable, so we’re always snapping pictures! We’d love a chance to back them up — along with work documents.

  16. Stacey

    I need to back up thousands of photos and MOMS club stuff. We do back up from my laptop to the desktop.

  23. Kris

    My computer died with over 2000 pictures that have to be transferred and put on the new computer. I would love to back them up for safety! Thanks for the giveaway

  24. Amy

    I recently discovered how important it is to back up all of my stuff on the computer!!! UGH — thankfully I didn’t lose it all and was able to get my files — however, YES, I discovered that it is VERY VERY VERY important to back up your stuff!

  27. Donna

    I could definitely use this to back up my Home Based Business database. And all my photos of my kids, my grandbaby and my pets!! :-)

  29. Alison

    I would LOVE to win this external hard drive! My husband and I share a laptop and everything important in our lives is on it…documents, pictures, music, you name it, its on there. WE’ve been wanting to get one for a while but haven’t found a coupon for one yet. :)

    I would love to win that! We really need to get one to back up our pictures and haven’t yet.
