500 Gigabytes of Naked Celebrity Photos!

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: This external hard drive offers plenty of inexpensive easy storage whatever you use it for.
Review: You can store whatever you want on this Seagate 500 Gigabyte External Hardrive. My computer only has 120 gigabyte harddrive, which by today's standards is pretty small. It fills up fast.

Sweet Affordable Storage From A Trusted Name

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you want a small footprint, high capacity, affordable external hard drive from a name you can trust, look no further than the Seagate FreeAgent 500GB HHD.
Review: Can one ever have enough storage space? I say no, one can always find a use for space and with the prices for hard drive the only thing that seems to be dropping these days, it s easy to grab an affordable external hard drive for not a lot of green...

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: Run away from the Seagate FreeAgent external hard drives!
Review: The Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB hard drive was on sale at Best Buy one day for $99 so I decided to pick it up. I actually needed 2 internal hard drives, but the external ones were on sale for the same price as an internal drive, so I decided to...

external hard drive

Essential Hard Drive!
5/5 stars
This is a great way to keep your data safe and stylish. You just plug it in, and it works. It has a small footprint, only stays on if your computer is on, and is just sleak. One thing to be careful of is that its actually only 460 GB, not 500, but all the hard drive companies do that. Pros: Nice design, Only on when needed, Just works Cons: Requires power adapter, Not really 500 GB
01:07
The Seagate 500GB external hard drive is great for backups.
5/5 stars
The hard drive is very quick and quiet. I can't even hear it when it's turned on. I would highly recommend this drive to anyone that needs a reliable backup storage solution. Pros: Quiet., Quick., Reliable included software. Cons: Runs warm after 3 hours.
