Additionally, its backup software and Mac compatibility make it very versatile. We were very impressed with the speeds of the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex.
The next closest drive, the eGo, took 47 seconds longer, a rate of 47 MBps. When we transferred that same folder off the FreeAgent, it performed even better, taking just 1 minute and 12 seconds, a category-leading rate of 71.1 MBps. That's the same as the Iomega eGo, and just behind the Buffalo MiniStation Stealth's leading time of 1:20 (64 MBps). We copied 5GB of documents and media files to the drive from a Dell Vostro 3350 in 1 minute and 26 seconds, a rate of 59.5 MBps.

The driver loaded automatically when we connected to a 13-inch MacBook Pro. One unique feature with the FreeAgent GoFlex drive is that it comes with a Mac driver to use NTFS (New Technology File System), which is a faster file transfer protocol that supports individual files bigger than 4GB and is normally only available when you use a Windows laptop. That's not as robust as the Iomega or Western Digital encryption, but at least it provides some extra security to keep your data safe from hackers.
One other bonus to using the FreeAgent GoFlex drive is that, using the Memeo software, you can make backups with 128-bit DES encryption protection. The backup app lets you schedule automated backups and, like the Western Digital backup software, shows a colorful interface with a bar chart to indicate which files have been archived. Seagate includes 30-day trials of some extra Memeo apps, including one that syncs your files between two laptops.

It took only 5 minutes to install the included Memeo backup program. Seagate's included software provided a clear and useful interface that actually made us want to perform backups.
