The FreeAgent Pro external hard drive provides anyone who’s serious about their digital content with the freedom to stay connected to it.

It’s all about having your latest files right where you need them, when you need them. Automatically duplicate and move the content you select to multiple locations like email and contacts to your iPod™, photos to an online photo account, your entire “My Documents” folder to FreeAgent, or move it to your own online space* where you can access it from any browser 24/7 or share it with anyone you choose.

With up to 1 Terabyte and an ultra-slim design for a clutterfree desktop, your FreeAgent Pro external hard drive helps keep you safe from goof-ups by automatically saving new versions of your content that you can easily access if need be. And should something happen to your PC, you can roll back your Windows operating system, settings, and applications to a point in time when they ran smoother, like before a virus attack. Even though the system settings are taken back in time, updates to photos, music and critical data files are kept current.

Besides all the great benefits of the FreeAgent Pro software, you get triple connectivity that is both Mac and Windows compatible. No matter what computer you are connecting with, this innovative future-proof technology will keep your FreeAgent Pro moving data to exactly where you want it. It provides eSATA connectivity at blazing speeds up to 3Gb/sec, FireWire® 400 connectivity for Macs and digital video users, as well as USB 2.0 connectivity, the most commonly used interface in the world today.

KNOWLEDGE BASE

Warranty on 1TB external hard drives
Hi ,
I don't know if anyone can actually answer this but I find it strange and hope someone can explain, somehow. Even if it is an experienced recommendation. The 1TB Seagate FreeAgent PRO External Hard Drive (Item 11117) has 5 year warranty and no cooling fan. The 1TB Transcend StoreJet 35 Ultra Portable (item 11132) only has a 2 year warranty and claims "While most 3.5%u201D external hard drives are prone to data-loss and drive failure due to overheating, the StoreJet 35 Ultra features an efficient active cooling system".
Why is the StoreJet 40 Euro more expensive with 3 year LESS of a warranty and claiming to be better than drives without cooling?
Which would you buy?
Thanks for reading,
Martin
