Seagate FreeAgent

FreeAgent is a line of external hard drives manufactured by Seagate.

On May 20, 2010, Seagate released an updated range of FreeAgent drives.

While the drives may be supplied with different software and styling, any drive can be used as a storage device (without added functionality afforded by operating system-specific software) on any computer with appropriate port; for example, any USB 2.0 drive can be used on Mac or PC if an appropriate file system is installed on the drive and supported by the computer.

Other products released under the FreeAgent brand include the Dockstar, Theater+ HD Media player, and the Theater Media player.

The FreeAgent GoFlex drives support USB 2.0, USB 3.0 (backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports), FireWire, and eSATAp (aka eSATA/USB or powered eSATA); they are supplied fitted with an adapter for one of these standards (often USB 2.0), or none (bare drive), and additional adapters can be purchased.
