“The FreeAgent Go portable hard drive is the industry’s slimmest 2.5-inch external storage device and the first to feature a convenient dock to eliminate the hassle of finding an available USB port each time to access content,” said Pat King, senior vice president of Consumer Solutions Division of Seagate Technology. Now, we’ve made the FreeAgent Go portable hard drive an even more attractive gift for this holiday season with colors and free access to digital entertainment. Seagate realizes that the value of an external hard drive correlates directly to the emotional connection people have with the content they store on the drive. Your photos, music and movies are a reflection of who you are. This is why we’ve partnered with some of the leaders in the digital content industry to provide our customers with a premium package of multimedia for their new drive. This along with the new colors should put the FreeAgent Go portable hard drive at the top of many wish lists this season.”
