External Hard Drive By George Kyriakakis on Nov 05, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

It is no secret that the ever-increasing growth of Internet all over the world has led users to search more and more storage for their data.What really flourishes in computer industry is laptops and notebooks which have even supplanted desktop PC sales.The laptop and notebook owners therefore,need not only the storage capacity external disks offer them,but also portability.Eventhough external disks were not an attractive market in the past for the average consumer,nowadays they are affordable for everyone.

Seagate,a huge company with extensive experience and expertise in hard disks could not be left out of such a market.This finally led to Seagate's FreeAgent series,accompanied by a 5 year guarantee for its products(as far as I know,you won't find a better guarantee).I own a FreeAgent Pro hard disk with a capacity of 750 GB(Pro series also come in 500 GB and 1 TB),compatiple with USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and eSATA and I couldn't be more satisfied as a consumer.FreeAgent has its software already installed when you buy it and not in a CD,which wouldn't be very practical.Its AutoBackup program is by far the easiest backup program I have ever used,even the least experienced user will find no trouble using it.One other thing I liked about this product is that it's very quite and trustworthy,I never had any problems while using it.I strongly recommend it to everyone!
