Amazon.com Product Description
When its time to back up and protect your digital content--photos, music, documents, and more--it doesn't get much easier than the Seagate Free Agent Desktop USB Portable Hard Drive. Simply plug it in to any power source, 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, giving you more space for your other desktop items. 
Powerful storage device with a sleek new design. | 
Takes up less room on your desk than a stapler. | 
Keep all your digital content in a safe and secure location. | Portable Performance and Security
If you're still relying on your personal computer or back-up CDs or DVDs to store your digital content or vital personal or family documents, you're running an unnecessary risk. Your computer can only hold so many files and can crash at any time, leaving you helpless to access your content. DVDs and CDs have a place in archiving, but they get easily scratched and lost. It's too risky to store everything in your computer, and too time-consuming and cumbersome to have a drawer full of CDs or DVDs. Computers come and go, but your content should always be nearby. With up to 1000 glorious gigabytes, the Free Agent external hard drive is the best place to gather and access all of your important photos, movies, music, games and documents. Simply plug in the power and the USB cable and you?re ready to go. The Seagate Free Agent is big enough to store a huge portion of your digital content in a safe and secure environment, but small enough to let you take that content with you wherever you go. In other words, having the Seagate Free Agent is like having your entire computer with you at all times, but in a package that's a small fraction of the space and weight of your computer. Designed to live peacefully in your home or office, the Free Agent external hard drive is extra quiet and takes up less room on your desk than a stapler. Even the cable ports are base-mounted to help keep your desk free of clutter. We even add a little bit of sophistication to your desktop with the unique espresso brown finish and molten amber illumination. The sleek and slim design of this hard drive--only measures 7.5 x 1.6 x 6.4-inches (H x D x W)--and a weight of less than four pounds. The Seagate Free Agent lets you transfer files seamlessly from your computer via its USB 2.0 connection at a brisk transfer rate of up to 480Mb/sec. The drive delivers a spindle speed of 7,200 RPM, giving you the high-speed performance you need to back your data up quickly and safely. The Seagate Free Agent is ready to use out of the box with a PC, but it can be made Mac-ready in a matter of minutes with Mac OS X's Disk Utility. This portable hard drive is already compatible with Windows Vista (as well as Windows XP and Windows 2000), allowing you to backup your content regardless of operating system upgrades. At this compact size, and with this high performance, you now have the ability to take your data with you anywhere you go, so your digital content finally has room to breathe. A five-year warranty is also included, giving you complete peace of mind.
What's in the Box
FreeAgent Desktop drive, USB 2.0 cable, AC power adapter, and quick start guide.

 A++ January 8, 2009
This was a great purchase. It come with software for drive management, and was a great deal for the amount of space. I do wish it could be switchable between Mac and PC but even still great product. highly recommended.
Good product for small price January 6, 2009
I needed external HDD as data storage (rare usage, I do not use it as "big flash drive").
It was best value for this price.
Only thing - it requires AC power adapter (some external drives can work on USB power), but for home use it is not a big problem.
 Absolute Garbage! January 4, 2009
I have returned no less than 4 of these under warranty. Every single replacement unit I've received has been DOA. What good does the 5-year warranty do if Seagate won't send me a replacement that works? I have given up on trying to get a replacement that actually works. I spent over $30 on postage for warranty returns. I ended up taking apart the most recent one they sent and put the hard drive in a case I bought on ebay for $12 and it worked fine. There seems to be some major power management issues with the enclosures. I will probably never buy a Seagate product again. From now on, I will stick with what has worked for me in the past (Western Digital).
 Very Unstable Design December 30, 2008

This drive has a very poor, bulky, and unstable design. The pictured base does NOT come off and you are forced to stand it precariously on end, which is a big tipping hazard. And lo and behold, if tipped, of course it encounters mechanical hard drive failure which would cost $1000 for data recovery.
Not reliable at all. Please dont waste your money. December 29, 2008

I had this drive for 6 months and kept backing up data periodically. But the drive stopped working after 6 months and I had to format it entirely to make it work. I lost personal pics and a lot of stuff because of this drive.
My recommendation is to never purchase it and if you already have it, don't use it to backup your data. You will be greatly disappointed.
