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.

    I really need to back up my photos. We have years worth that are solely on the computer, not even printed out yet. We also have thousands of songs.

    I need to back up all my photos and music! I take tons of photos of my nieces and nephews and I save them for Christmas presents. :)

  15. Kresta

    Hundreds of pictures??? More like thousands, plus almost as many digital scrapbooking pages. I always need extra storage!

    I need to backup all my photos of my kids. Also I keep track of all my username and passwords for the many different sites I have joined so I would backup those too not to mention all my music.

    I am not the best at backing up my computer, ok I admit my DH has told me countless times to back up my stuff and well I don’t. An auto backup would be marvelous!

  22. Amy

    Sure could use it to back up my music…kids deleting mine to make room for THEIRS….great way to keep photos too…

  24. Amanda

    After having to pay Geeksquad $99 to back up my pictures twice when something happened to our computer, I finally bought a usb drive to save my pictures to. But that is quickly filling up and the external hard drive would definitely come in handy!!!

    I would LOVE to have an external drive to backup my data. I have so many family pictures and videos that I do not want to lose. This would be great!
