System Requirements:
The FreeAgent drive fits snugly in the included dock. It feels as sturdy as it can, given the enclosure is made of plastic; but since it should not be treated roughly anyway, this is of little concern. The drive has a refreshingly nondescript look and does not call attention to itself sitting on a desk, bookshelf or wherever else it may reside within the home or small office.
The drive is quiet and makes minimal noise when reading and writing. It will shut off after a few minutes of inactivity to save power and takes about five seconds to wake up from sleep.
Pros:
- Router with an available Ethernet port
- WiFi router required for wireless file access and backup
- Internet connection for activation and Internet file sharing
- Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3.x, Chrome 4.x, Safari 3 or later web browser
- Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later operating system
- Build Quality and Operation
