Review Date: September 12, 2009
Reviewer: J. Pittman,
I have an older 750gb Seagate "Pro" hard drive. I like the enclosure better on the new Xtreme drive, because the base of the older one was fixed, and the base of the new one is set up to be removed so the hard drive can be mounted vertically OR horizontally. The finish on the new drive seems cheaper, however, though it makes for lighter weight.

As is always the case for Seagate drives, I have no issues with this one. I'm happy they finally have a 2tb drive available, and with E-sata and firewire options, you can use it in almost any application.

I'll continue to buy Seagate.

Review Date: December 18, 2009
Reviewer: D. Archer, Los Angeles, CA USA
I hope that my experience with this 2GB drive isn't reflective of the typical quality of this product; I recognize that this could be an aberration. This is my first hard-drive failure in my twelve years or so of home computing. It wasn't the interface or other problem; the hard drive failed, reverted to a RAW format, and only about one-half of the drive could be formatted as NTFS. Obviously, at least one of the platters failed catastrophically. I sent it in for replacement under warranty and am awaiting the replacement. I wonder if the push to 2GB is too much, too soon.

I will update this review only if I have further problems.

user comment Seagate FreeAgent Go 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST910004FAA2E1 RK (Tuxedo Black) Excellent write speed (in my opinion)
 
Review Date: October 29, 2008
Reviewer: J. Holston,
I downloaded 1.06 GB in 2 min 27.63 seconds (yes I used a stopwatch so I could post this review to help all of you reading this). There were multiple big files but also a lot of small files. There were a total of 107 files in that download. I was downloading from a network attached drive, which may have slowed it down a little, but I don't really know.

I tell you these things because I found it very difficult to get "real" numbers when I was trying to decide which hard drive to buy. I cared mostly about write speed because for the most part I will only use it to back up my files. I took a chance with this drive based on opinions from people I talked to, and I am glad I did. It is very portable and very nice looking. I opened a file to test the read speed, and it seemed fine. I don't know how to time the read speed of a drive, sorry.

I did not test the software because I don't plan to use it. I've heard that the software makes it faster, but I can't use it because I am on a public computer.

If you are looking for a hard drive case, I highly recommend this one! Caselogic PHDC-1 Small EVA External Hard Drive Case (Red) I hope this helps you make your decision. Have a great day!
user comment Seagate FreeAgent Go 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST910004FAA2E1 RK (Tuxedo Black) Works just fine, WD - you lost out due to your silliness
 
Review Date: November 30, 2009
Reviewer: Rahul Garg, Mumbai
Pros: 1 TB capacity :) (931 gb actual available :( ), no external power needed, not a whole lot thicker than the 2 platter drives (see the 2 images I've added) (Update on this: Just recently, my cousin purchased a 500GB Seagate FreeAgent Go drive and this 1TB drive is nearly double the thickness of the 500GB drive...it's also thinner than my silver WD 500GB drive (which I have shown in the pics)...kinda sucks as to why my WD drive is not as thin as the 500GB FreeAgent Go drive), decent speeds, removable software, mini usb connector

Cons: Not too much of cons for me:
Weight (feels almost double the weight of the thinner drives), thickness (hey, it would still be nice if these were thinner) - it's certainly not double the thickness, barely 0.3 inches thicker than my 500GB WD drive.

Other Thoughts: In all honesty, I would never have considered buying this drive if I hadn't read all the negative reviews that have been posted for the comparable 1TB drive from WD (look for it's amazon page). I was shocked to read all those reviews since I was quite excited originally when WD released the 1TB hdd. This drive luckily does not suffer from those 2 main issues i.e. it uses a usb mini connector and the software is easily removed. I bet WD is having a hard time dealing with a lot of returns due to their silly move. Luckily for me I waited, read those reviews so I was able to make a better decision. Regarding the speeds, I copied some files over and here is what I got (approximately):
45.6 GB (~29,000 files) - ~80 mins
293 GB (~1,000 files) - ~7 hours (I did not see this through completion but XP informed me about 224 mins left after ~3 hours of copying files, so 7 hrs is going by that figure).

Review Date: December 2, 2008
Reviewer: Florian Studer,
Even though I have been using the hardrive for only a couple of days so far I am convinced that it was a great purchase.

It comes in an extremely appealing shape - very slim, light and small, seems to be of very high quality and is fast enough for daily use. If you use a rather old computer with low USB power supply the single USB cable might be too less to run the drive; consider buying a Y-cable or a new computer then. For everybody else it's the better solution because the drive occupies only one plug. The delivered cable is short, however, that means better portability.

The software is not powerful but still very useful. As long as you don't expect more than scheduled daily backups for specific files you should be fine.

Mac users might go for the Apple version since it offers FW 400/800 and is a lot faster therefore. It's a bit thicker and heavier though...
user comment Seagate FreeAgent Go 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST910004FAA2E1 RK (Tuxedo Black) BY FAR the best hard drive I've ever had.
 
Review Date: December 17, 2008
Reviewer: J. Riga, Columbus, Ohio United States
Bought this Free Agent Go to replace a Western Digital My Book. Wanted to be able to take my files with me when I travel. I am surprised to say this is BY FAR the most quiet drive I have ever used. It spins silently and quicky. Works perfectly under OS X 10.5.6 and the free dock offer from Amazon made it a great deal. Can't recommend this drive enough! The built-in lighting on the drive is also very cool, it sort of pulses when it's accessing information.

A single USB cable powers it just fine on my new late-2008 Macbook 2.4GHz. Also worked perfectly through the USB hub on my new 24" LED Cinema Display.
user comment Seagate FreeAgent Go 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST910004FAA2E1 RK (Tuxedo Black) Portable spacious drive.
 
Review Date: December 9, 2008
Reviewer: T. Gunderman, Chicago, IL, USA
I have used this for a week and I can already say that Seagate is a great brand for external hard drives.
I bought a Western Digital hard drive about a year and a half ago, and I can already see the difference. Seagate does not freeze as much as the WD did, and with the desktop interface option, it makes a great choice for anyone on the go.
I love the portability, but the only problem is that I have no idea where the ventilation area is located. When I use the hard drive, I would like to know how to position it to prevent overheating. But as long as you make sure not to use it on cloth or other non-ventilated surfaces.
The price is good for the size, and I love the fact that it only runs on the usb power; no more clogged outlets!
user comment Seagate FreeAgent Go 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST910004FAA2E1 RK (Tuxedo Black) Great portable data storage device
 
Review Date: December 28, 2008
Reviewer: HDN, California
This is a fast and convenient way to back up your hard drive, or sync two computers, or migrate files from one computer to another. At 320 GB, it has enough capacity to store what most people need to keep or carry around. It comes with pre-loaded software that allows you to set up automatic back-up, once a day or any day of the week.

It is decently fast at data transfer, and runs cool and quiet (it makes a very slight spinning sound at start-up, but you have to listen closely to hear it).

The entire device is very light and would fit in a large shirt pocket. It comes in a slim case with brushed aluminum plates on the top and bottom (the bottom surface is rubberized for non-skid). This gives it a sleek and elegant look, and I think nicer than some other brands that have a plastic case, not as sturdy and more prone to fingerprints.

There is no protective sleeve included with this FreeAgent Go. You can get an optional docking station from Seagate that comes with a leatherette case. The FreeAgent Go package includes a USB cable (it uses one USB port on your PC). If you choose to use the dock instead, it requires two USB ports, one for power and the other for data. A Y cable is provided).

Highly recommended.

Review Date: November 7, 2008
Reviewer: Joel Dauteuil, Bethlehem, NH USA
Amazing size, weight, and build quality as usual. I've been sticking with Seagate drives for years now and they continue to impress. I wish the price was a little lower but for this size, a USB powered 500GB is worth it for anyone who travels a lot. I'll probably buy another. Perfect for backups as well as taking all your music and a whole lot of movies and TV rips.

Four Drive Bays and Seven RAID Modes for Speed and Protection
With four terabytes of storage included, this hard drive offers plenty of space to store all your important data, digital media files, and more. Each included drive features an extremely fast spin speed of 7200 rpm and has a 16 MB or larger cache for optimal performance.

The 4big Quadra gives you the option of seven different RAID modes: RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 5+Spare, RAID 3, RAID 3+Spare, Concatenation, and RAID 10. The ability to hot-swap drives in some RAID modes is an especially useful feature: you can remove and replace drives even while the 4big Quadra is running.

Depending on the RAID mode you choose, you can have either faster performance and higher storage space, or more protection. Please note that depending on the configuration, the usable amount of space might be less than 4 TB.

Installing new drives is a cinch: simply put the new disk on a drive tray and insert it into an empty drive bay. An included tool lets you lock and unlock the drives in place. The 4big Quadra is expandable and scalable up to four units, which provides up to an amazing 24 TB capacity with 600 MB/s transfer rates.

Quadruple Interface for Wide Compatibility and Fastest Speed
The 4big Quadra has four interfaces to ensure compatibility and maximize speed. Hi-speed USB 2.0 is nearly universal and has a maximum bus speed of up to 480 Mbps. FireWire 400, which is popular with digital video producers, offers up to 400 Mbps, and FireWire 800 can achieve up to 800 Mbps.

eSATA, the newest and fastest standard, can achieve extremely fast transfer rates of up to 3000 Mbps, making it perfect for digital media applications such as photography, pre-press, AV projects, and even HD post-production.

Design by Neil Poulton Offers Striking Looks
The 4big Quadra is designed by renowned designer Neil Poulton and features a striking, minimalist aluminum design with a round blue dot in the center that lights up. The 4big Quadra is stackable for easy expandability and is designed to complement and enhance your working environment.

The large blue dot, along with LEDs on the rear, lets you easily monitor your system's performance. You'll quickly know if any drives fail, when RAID is rebuilding, if the temperature is getting too high, and more.

Save Energy and Minimize Noise
The 4big Quadra was made with energy savings in mind, and compared to traditional RAID towers, it can save 30% to 80% on energy consumption. It also features a revolutionary, ultra-reliable cooling system that keeps the system almost 50% more quiet, letting you concentrate on the important things.
