Seagate FreeAgent Xtreme (500GB) Review

The good: Decent throughput performance; supports eSATA, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 interfaces; decent bundle software; quiet and cool during operation; 5-year warranty.

The bad: eSATA connection needs reset after idling; no FireWire 800; eSATA cable not included.

The bottom line: The Seagate FreeAgent Xtreme offers three interface options, a useful software bundle, and a lengthy warranty for a fair price. We like this direct-attach external drive.
