Seagate FreeAgent Go 160GB USB2.0 - delisted
With the introduction of the huge capacity 160GB Seagate FreeAgent Go, a new way of using external hard drives has come about. You no longer have to drag a laptop around with you. Simply take the FreeAgent Go with you. You can set it up so that your files, programs and data are all stored on the disk. When you connect the disk drive to a Windows XP or 2000 computer, all your stuff is there, ready for use. No longer will you need a portable hard drive, you now have portable data!
Software on the go
FreeAgent lets you carry software programs (free and paid for) on the mobile hard drive, with the ability to run programs from the hard drive. You don't need to install any files or programs on the host computer.
The advantage of this is simple. You practically have your computer in your pocket. All you need to do to use your disk is plug it into a computer. Your 'desktop' appears, and you can work as normal. When you remove the mobile hard drive, all traces of your visit are removed.
Leave your laptop behind
This type of disk drive implementation simplifies travelling. Not only is it much safer to travel with just a small disk, but its also far less trouble. No laptop bag to carry around anymore! Just make sure that where you are going has a spare computer, but nowadays, that should not be a concern in most environments.
Apart from the data mobility, FreeAgent Go lets you synchronize your data on your local PC. You can also password protect your sensitive files. And apart from all that, the FreeAgent Go is just an external, bus powered portable hard drive, easy to use and install.Quick Download Data Disk
