Seagate Pushes FreeAgent Drives To 1.5TB
You can never have enough storage and Seagate knows this better than most as it rolls out its latest generation of FreeAgent external and portable hard disk drives. Sitting at the top of the heap is the drive above, the 1.5TB FreeAgent XTreme drive with eSATA, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 connection options. Those working with whopping HD files and graphics will be impressed with the 3GB/sec transfer rate via the eSATA hook-up. The range also includes a 500GB, 640GB, and 1TB drives. Prices [US] start at around £90 and will run to around £165 for the 1.5TB monster. If it’s just a USB version of the above drives then you can plump for the regular FreeAgent Desk drives offering similar capacities but lacking thre FireWire 400 and eSATA connections. They are also cheaper. If portability is a key shopping criteria then Seagate has launched what it claims is the world’s slimmest portable hard disk drive, the FreeAgent Go. It measures 12.5mm high for slipping into your pocket and comes with up to 500GB of storage. Interestingly, the drive is also the first to come with a docking option [around £20] that does away with “the hassle of fumbling with cables and locating USB ports”. Prices start at £70 for a 250GB version and around £140 for the 500GB one.-Martin Lynch [Seagate] storage laptop pc
