Key Features
Internal Internal enclosure refers to all hard drives that are installed inside desktop or laptop computers. External External hard drives are those that are set up outside of a computer, usually connected via a wire. Plug-In Plug-In Modules are those hard drives that are essentially removable or swappable.
Spindle speed is the speed at which the drive's memory disc (or platter) spins. A higher spin rate improves both positioning and transfer performance for sequential operations. This means that the faster it spins, the faster data can be read off of the disk for single operations.
Technical Features
The interface is the type of connection (such as FireWire or USB) used by your hard drive. Home systems will mostly use an IDE interface. Professional systems can use higher quality interface, as SCSI.
Interface (Detailed)

| Pros |
Low cost desktop back-up and storage expansion backed by Seagate support. |
| Cons |
Requires an electrical outlet in addition to a USB port, no pre-loaded back-up software. |
| Bottom Line |
If you have money to burn, or need a portable drive, get the FreeAgent Go. If you want to back-up your desktop for a reasonable price, consider the FreeAgent Desk. |
| Pros |
Sleek design, quick. |
| Cons |
The vertical stand makes me cringe, the feet are worthless. |
| Bottom Line |
Excellent drive, nice design, Seagate reliability. |
