Seagate Free Agent Go Dock and Case

Product Pros

It is small, it is portable, it is nice on the eyes. I love the plug and play installation of this hard drive. It is small enough to store easily in your laptop bag. It comes in stylish colors so you looks cool working at Starbucks.

Product Cons

You must keep a USB/Mini-B cable with you for connection.

Product in Use

It includes a sync management program that allows you to choose how your hard drive performs backups. This is useful for the computers you use regularly. I installed it on my laptop to automatically sync the "My Documents" folder when I plug it in. The Dock is great to keep at home. It keeps the drive off my messy kitchen table where I work. The case is handy for travel. It has an elastic pouch to store the required USB cable.

Product Summary

Take your desktop environment and all of your files to go. The FreeAgent Go portable hard drive can run more than 100 free and pay-to-use applications on any PC without installing or storing programs on the host computer. Carry your browser, favorites, passwords, IM client and contacts, email client, cookies, settings and files; so whether you're using a computer at work, school, a business center, an Internet cafe, or a library, you have your desktop environment there when you need it. FreeAgent Go software lets you carry lots of great programs and all your browser favorites and passwords without having to haul around your computer. Your FreeAgent Go Portable Hard Drive saves all of your private information on itself, not on the computer you're using. That means there's no trace of your last session to tempt the next person on a borrowed computer. It also provides strong file encryption to protect your content, and lets you sync your files from several PCs. It's all about having your desktop environment and latest files with you, whenever and wherever you need them. Designed for mobility, the sleek compact design easily fits into your shirt pocket, briefcase or backpack. Plug in the USB 2.0 cable to a PC and your personal desktop environment launches automatically.
