Top Uses for Seagate FreeAgent Two Terabyte External Disk Drive

Until recently when I dumped my ice tea on my laptop, I didn't understand or appreciate the uses of an external disk drive. When I bought a Dell Mini1012 laptop, it didn't have a CD drive. It also had limited memory space. I bought the Seagate 2 Terabyte External Disk Drive to help boost the power of my make work solution to no computer. Now that I've used the Seagate External Disk Drive, I've found many uses and benefits.

How to Install a Seagate FreeAgent Desk External Drive

If you've held back on purchasing an external disk drive because of presumed hassle, think again. I unpacked my Seagate Two Terabyte External Disk Drive and found three parts. One part was the external disk drive. One part was a power supply that fit onto the only spot it would fit on the external disk drive. And the final part was a USB cable that connected the External Disk Drive to my Dell Mini1012 personal computer. There was also a scrap of paper that said that after all the parts were connected, that the Microsoft Operating System should detect the new hardware and load the driver from the external disk drive. Quicker than your read this sentence, the external disk drive was set up and looked like any other drive on the system, but also helpfully labeled FreeAgent Drive.

Use a Seagate FreeAgent Desk External Drive for Photographs

Until now, all of our digital photographs were stored on CD-Roms. We had duplicate CDs in case of damage to any one of the CDs. The CDs could be shared between computers, but after you get thirty years of travel photographs (we're only at about 10 years) scanned and on CD-Rom, you have a huge stack. The Seagate Two Terabyte External Disk Drive stored all of the CD-Roms with ease, and with meaningful names. Now instead of carrying CD-Roms between computers, we can just use the Seagate External Disk Drive.

Use a Seagate FreeAgent Desk External Drive for Backups

You can copy and paste files from your Dell Mini1012 Personal Computer or other personal computer onto the Seagate FreeAgent Desk External Drive. Or you can use the Microsoft system back to accomplish and similar task and keep backup versions.

Use a Seagate FreeAgent Desk External Drive for Sensitive Data

If you're worried about having sensitive data snooped from the internet, using a Seagate FreeAgent Desk External Drive is a good solution. Simply store your sensitive data on the Seagate FreeAgent Desk External Drive and unplug the USB cable any time that you access the internet; it will still retain data.

Overall, I've been very pleased at how easy it is to use and how little space it takes on my desk since it comes with a holder to hold it upright.
