The Seagate GoFlex FreeAgent Desk costs Rs. 8,800. It does give a decent performance. Users wanting to buy this drive should more or less use it as a desk-based external drive with partial portability. Overall, we’d love to see a price drop for the 3TB...

Thickness does not allow for carrying in your pocket, External power cable requirement makes it unwieldy onthego

Fast disk transfers, Great backup software, NTFS support for Mac
Thin plastic case, No AES hardware encryption, A bit expensive
We were very impressed with the speeds of the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex. Additionally, its backup software and Mac compatibility make it very versatile. Still, we're concerned with the flimsy feel. For about $25 more, the much bulkier Iomega eGo also of...
