As you can see from the picture above, the FreeAgent Go go is compact and sleek looking. I love the way the silver looks but what I love even more is it’s ease of use and portability. Pictures and videos of my kids are very important to me and I would be devastated if I ever lost those files. We also have a large music library that we’ve built over the years as well. I can rest easier now knowing that my files are safely backed up on my FreeAgent Go.

My dad loves pictures of my kids (what grandpa wouldn’t?!). When I lived out of state I would send him a CD every month with all of the recent photos of my son (this was before my daughter was born). Since moving back, I haven’t given him a single CD and boy have I heard about it! The FreeAgent Go has a handy travel case so now when I visit my dad I can bring it along and share my pictures with him.

They say “a picture is worth a thousand words”. I don’t know what a thousand words equates to but the cost of a FreeAgent Go to protect my pictures is worth every penny.
