*/We've been thoroughly impressed with the FreeAgent|XTreme 1TB during
our time with it. The exterior styling has been dramatically improved
over the previous incarnations of the FreeAgent, and the new white
backlit design looks fantastic and understated - exactly what you want
from an external desktop drive. The connectivity options of the drive
are equally impressive, with the combination of eSATA, USB 2.0 and
Firewire 400 making it one of the most well equipped external hard disk
drives on the market right now.

Performance wise, it again impressed us with its blisteringly fast eSATA
file transfer rates and solid USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 performance too.
Even the included software performed the feat of being both
falling-off-a-log simple to use and actually useful, we would have
preferred more security options like the ability to password protect the
entire disk.

However, this is still an excellent external drive, and while more
expensive than lower spec rivals compared to others with eSATA it can be
found a little cheaper depending where you shop. If you simply need some
extra hard drive space, we'd still point you towards an OEM internal
hard disk, where the cost per GB is significantly lower, but if you need
the flexibility of an external hard disk drive and the performance of an
internal drive, the FreeAgent|XTreme 1TB delivers. We just wish Seagate
had thrown in that eSATA cable!/

*Cheers guys!
