FreeAgent Go 80GB External Hard Drive (USB 2.0,...Strengths: Light weight, Mordern design, 5 year warranty, Fast access speed, Quiet Weakness: Must use 2 usb ports, Larger size, No case included, Useless software for me Overall quality is so-so to good. I'm satisfied its speed (5400 rpm). whenever I plugin, it just recognizes as usb 2.0 (my previous external hdd sometimes says it will work at 1.1 usb.. I don't know why). Its design is good enough except large size and non square shape. Although this drive is external, no case comes with it. What I'm mostly unsatisfied with it is that it has to be used 2 usb port. My previous drive always needs one usb port. 0% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Seagate FreeAgent Go (80GB)
THE GOOD: Fast data transfer speed; file/folder sync capability; Ceedo lets you take your PC environment with you; generous warranty. THE BAD: The Ceedo and Argo lists of approved programs are limited. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Seagate FreeAgent Pro operates as both a hard drive and a portable PC environment, but even if youre not interested in the Ceedo program, the FreeAgent Pro offers fast speeds...

Best external drive ever
Strengths: small factor size, reliable, fast
Weakness: bundled software was useless for me
The drive is really great and you get what is promised. It is made very well and I am not sure why anyone would need a case for that. I also like the light on this drive, which shows if it is on or transferring data.Some people complain that it requires 2 USB ports, which is not entirely true. Most new PCs and laptops would need just one. My Dell 6000 and Sony laptops need just one of the usb ports connected. I think the whole reason why it has two is just in case if one would have crappy usb ports that would not supply enough USB power. So, in a sense it is a strength and data would never be lost.I did not use the bundled software, which arrived on the hdd.

You're right about why it has two USB connectors: some USB ports don't provide enough power. It's not Seagate's fault, and it depends on each manufacturer. Some laptops even designate higher power ports. It's actually a major plus that Seagate provides a USB cable with the extra connector to get more power.
Good review!
