Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750 GB 3.5" USB 2.0/eSATA External Hard Drive

Customer Review: Works with DirecTV HR-20 to expand space
Summary: 5 Stars

After reading about expanding the storage space for my DirecTV HD DVR, I purchased one of these units along with a PNY e-SATA cable. Note: This unit comes with a USB cable, but NOT an e-SATA cable. There is a SIIG Serial ATA external cable availble here on Amazon that others have used successfully too....search using SIIG Serial ATA external cable - 3.3 ft ( CB-SA0111-S1 )

The combination worked perfectly. I now have three times the storage capacity on my DVR than I did before the upgrade.

For those that are curious, here's how I made it work.
1. Power down the DVR. Unplug it from the wall.
2. Connect the NOT included e-SATA cable to the back of the
3. Plug in the new Seagate and wait a minute.
4. When the new Seagate has been up and spinning for a minute or so, plug in the DirecTV DVR.
5. Wait while the DVR formats the new drive and then downloads all the needed software from the satellite.
6. Note, step 5 takes a good 5-10 minutes. You will have a blank screen for a few minutes while I assume the system is formatting the new Free Agent Drive.

After performing all these steps, it is like you just took the DVR out of the box. All your past recordings are gone, all your settings are toast. You need to tell it to record all your favorites again.

If for some reason you ever feel the need to remove this drive from your DVR. Simply power down and unplug. Restarting the DVR will cause it to use the old internal drive you had in there before. You will even see your old programs you had on it before you added the new hard drive. Note: When adding the new hard drive, the system only uses the new drive...it simply ignores the old one. It changes nothing on that drive. That's how DirecTV wants it to work as of today......

Description of Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750 GB 3.5" USB 2.0/eSATA External Hard Drive

Access your content from anywhere, share it with anyone and sync it to almost anything. The FreeAgent Pro data mover automatically duplicates and moves content you select to multiple locations like email and contacts to your IPod, photos to a Shutterfly account, your entire My Documents folder to FreeAgent, or move it to your own online space for 24/7 access from any browser. Also included is an innovative modular interface to future-proof technology, various models available, up to 750 glorious gigabytes of storage, and even a five year limited warranty.

Amazon.com Product Description For the person who needs access to their digital content away from home, at work, or online, while also allowing that same content to be shared in a secure setting, look no further than the Seagate Free Agent Pro Portable Hard Drive. This powerful portable hard drive delivers high-speed transfers, while also giving you the ability to share content with others safely and securely from a remote location or even online.

Powerful storage device with a sleek new design.

This hip-looking hard drive takes up less room on your desk than an ordinary stapler.

Share your content with others safely and securely.

With up to 1 Terabyte and an ultra-slim design for a clutter-free desktop, your FreeAgent Pro external hard drive helps keep you safe from goof-ups by automatically saving new versions of your content that you can easily access if need be. And should something happen to your PC, you can roll back your Windows operating system, settings, and applications to a point in time when they ran smoother, like before a virus attack. Even though the system settings are taken back in time, updates to photos, music and critical data files are kept current.

The Free Agent Pro is also ideal for those who want quick and painless transfers of their data from their computer to their drive, and from their drive to online accounts (such as Shutterfly or email). Simply plug it in to any power source and connect the USB cable to any computer, and you're ready to go. This hip-looking hard drive takes up less room on your desk than an ordinary stapler--1 x 3 x 5.2 inches (H x D x W)-- giving you more space for your other desktop items. Meanwhile, the hard drive only measures 7.5 x 1.4 x 6.3-inches (H x D x W) and it matches its small base.

High Speed Synchronization and Sharing
The Free Agent Pro data mover automatically duplicates and moves selected content from your hard drive to multiple locations, such as copying your contact lists and emails to your iPod, or photos to a Shutterfly account. This feature also allows you to move your entire 'My Documents' folder to the Free Agent, or move it to your own online space where you (or others you choose) can access it from any browser 24/7. The Free Agent software also offers the feature of rolling back your system to better time if something should happen to your PC while automatic revisions of your content help keep you safe from goof-ups.

Move files or other content with either USB 2.0 or eSATA allowing a maximum transfer rate of 480Mb/sec for USB, and 3Gb/sec for eSATA, while delivering a high performance spindle speed of 7,200 RPM. The unit also comes with a sophisticated touch point power on/off switch.

The Free Agent Pro software and drive formatting works only with Windows, but the drive can easily be reformatted for a Mac with OS X's Disk Utility. This portable hard drive is also compatible with Windows Vista (as well as Windows XP and Windows 2000), allowing you to backup your content regardless of operating system upgrades. A five-year warranty is also included, giving you complete peace of mind. Now with the ability to take your data with you anywhere you go, your digital content finally has room to breathe.

What's in the Box
FreeAgent Pro data mover drive, Free Agent software (preloaded) and electronic documentation, USB2.0 and eSATA interfaces, USB 2.0 cable, AC power adapter, and a quick start guide.
