Seagate FreeAgent Go 320 GB
In Seagate, the products are called FreeAgent external storage. Three references to the catalog: the Desk, Xtreme and Go The latter, with evocative names, which we tested, the other two being intended for a more sedentary use.

Getting Started
The first impression which strikes us leaving the FreeAgent Go from its plastic packaging, it is pretty compact! With 1.2 cm thick, it certainly sets the record for our comparative (also an iPhone end ...). The housing has a serious finish, both the assembly and on the quality of materials. Seagate has opted for a brushed metal shell, which not only provides a nice touch but also contributes to the rigidity of the housing and good thermal dissipation of the disk drive. The lower part is covered with a plastic soft, slightly rubberized, confirming the impression of robustness. The art will appreciate the declination in four colors, blue, black, silver and red, and the constellation of lights at the top of the box, fluctuating depending on disk activity. That fans can rest assured of sobriety, the FreeAgent Go is a nightclub itinerant: lighting that filters through fifty small holes is very discreet. In any case, this new generation of FreeAgent Go easily surpasses the former in terms of design and finishing!

What else?
In fact appreciable Seagate is the guarantee for this model lasts 5 years. Rather, it is reassuring even if the latter is limited. By "limited", it should be understood that the disc is protected, but not what it contains. Do not attempt to obtain any compensation for loss of your data. The same goes for all manufacturers ... In terms of connections, Seagate is in the universal is limited to USB 2.0. We regret that against the supplied cable is too short and not coupled with an additional USB jack for power, as was the case on the old version of Go A process yet very useful: if a USB port the laptop is not enough to power the drive, what can happen, you connect the second prize. Note that Seagate chose NTFS as the file system for its FreeAgent Go So if you have a Mac, you or around you, it would be better to opt for the FreeAgent Go for Mac, formatted in FAT32.
