QuickTake:
Pros: Lit-up display a nice reminder that your drive is on and working; doubles as a sweet night-light.

Review Verdict: The FreeAgent Pro's large capacity, multiple connectivity options, fast performance and unique design aren't quite enough to justify its high price. If it came with a full version of Memos Autobackup backup software, then we'd rate it higher.

Seagate's FreeAgent Pro 750GB drive ($340 direct) stands out on two fronts: its innovative software pack-ins and its physical design. Its software is a solid group of programs for the user who doesn't already have a backup solution (that is, most of you).
Review Verdict: The Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB is a big drive, and the software is well thought out and well designed, but its unusual case design will not appeal to everyone.

Cons: Although stylish, design is less than practical in some situations. External connector swaps are wonky. No FireWire 800. Backup software not Mac-compatible. Uses mini USB cable. No eSATA cable included.

If we were giving out awards for product design achievements in this grouptest, the first and second place prizes would have to go to LaCie and Maxtor's products respectively followed closely by Seagate's FreeAgent Pro.
