FreeAgent Pro

FreeAgent Pro data movers provide prosumers, creative professionals and anyone who?s serious about their digital content the freedom to stay connected to it. They combine desktop and online solutions that let you access your content from anywhere, share it with anyone, and sync it to almost anything. The fully integrated solution allows consumers to automatically synchronise content they select wherever they want it ? like automatically transferring your latest project files to a flash drive, copying email and contacts from Microsoft Outlook to an iPod or quickly syncing an entire ?My Documents? folders to the FreeAgent Pro.

FreeAgent Pro data movers provide an entirely new way to interact with and manage digital content, providing much more than just storage.

With a consumer-friendly interface and integrated software tools, FreeAgent Pro data movers are simple and easy to use.

FreeAgent Go

Designed for uni students, mobile consumers and business professionals, the new Seagate FreeAgent Go makes anywhere-computing possible by putting your desktop in the palm of your hands. Unlike many portable storage solutions that merely store, protect or synchronize files between PCs, they give you the freedom to carry your computing environment with you ? including Web favourites, passwords and settings, IM, email, contacts and digital files ? without having to haul around your laptop or desktop PC. Simply plug a FreeAgent Go data mover into any Windows computer?s USB 2.0 port at work, the airport, a business center, a coffee shop, or a friend?s house so that you have your personal computing experience with you wherever you go.

When finished, your private information and personalized settings are stored on the FreeAgent Go data mover, not on the host computer. For example, young adults or college students can have their own portable computing environment separate from the families? computer, keeping downloaded files separate. And, when unplugged, you leave no trace on the host computer ? no passwords, no files, and no web history. File encryption is provided for additional data security, and you can synchronize any digital file from any number of computers at the home or office. They can run more than 100 free and pay-to-use applications on any PC without installing or storing programs on borrowed computers.

The tiny solution sports a sleek compact design that easily fit into a shirt, pants or jacket pocket.
