Seagate Offers XTreme Storage and Data Protection

I’m going to go ahead and assume that you have a computer (this is a website, after all), which means you have data.

Seagate FreeAgent - Gorgeous!

From those pics my first thought would be some new modern ambient lighting… not the latest line of external hard drives. Always being on the go, and totally paranoid about losing photos/design files, i never travel without external hard drives… and i have some bigger boring ones from back in the day, and some sleeker new ones, but often the pretty ones worked terribly, the ugly simple ones were more reliable… and i’m so excited to see that brands like Seagate have really stepped up their design, realizing that its not even about accessorizing, so much as having more elegant solutions in the ext HD space.

Network World Review: Seagate FreeAgent Go portable hard drive

Like most of the portable drives we saw this year submitted for the gift guide, the FreeAgent Go is small, extremely portable, has a nice design and style, and operates via USB without the need for an additional power supply (in most cases).

Review: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5 Terabyte

As time goes by you expect technology to make progress, but sometimes technology can progress so quickly that it leaves consumers trying to play catch-up. Normally we see such items as video cards and CPUs making great technological leaps and bounds, but you can now add hard drives to that list. Sure, hard drives are always getting bigger but when was the last time you saw hard drives add another 500 gigabytes of storage in less than a year? Not to mention the data transfer speeds of hard drives have increased significantly.
