If you need an extremely large amount of storage capacity for your Mac, then look no further than the Seagate FreeAgent Desktop for Mac ST320005FJA105-RK. This sleek, silver, and somewhat bulky external hard drive packs the most storage available in a single hard drive on the market today. If the large capacity of one terabyte just isn't enough to suit your needs, then Seagate offers the option of this two terabyte drive. Measuring at 1.5" x 7.2" x 6" and weighing 2.2 lbs means that this external hard drive may be on the bulky side, but it is far more smaller and ergonomic than putting two 1TB drives together separately. Considering how much storage space this drive provides, its size is reasonable. Although the storage space is impressive, the price is not, considering you can buy two 1TB hard drives for a hundred dollars less than this one. But if you lack room to host two hard drives, or you only have one port left on your computer, then seriously consider the 2TB Seagate FreeAgent model.
ValueThe price of this model will likely deter some people into purchasing two 1TB hard drives, if even that much capacity is required. Currently, 1TB models seem sufficient for the average consumer, and only data-hogs or people who backup large amounts need more than 1TB of space. But if you're looking ahead as far as capacity security goes, then the 2TB Seagate FreeAgent is a good choice. It is an excellent all-in-one hard drive space solution for your Mac. FeaturesOne of the best things about this model is that it has been completely designed for the Mac, meaning it supports enhanced features such as Time Machine and advanced Apple power-management. In addition to the impressive 5 year warranty, this hard drive is packed into a sleek and sturdy encasement that allows the drive to survive short falls at a higher than average rate. Finally, this model features both FireWire 400/800 and USB 2.0 compatibility to suit your needs. SummaryOverall, although a little on the expensive side, the 7200rpm Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive is a great accessory for your Mac. It packs tons of storage capacity into a single device, alleviating troubles you may face from setting up a RAID configuration or two separate hard drives. Although this isn't a "perfect" hard drive, it does come with a 5-year warranty that most users will never have to use. If you are looking to minimize your workspace and maximize your computer space, then consider the 2TB Seagate FreeAgent as the next companion for your Mac. Pros
