Seagate Makes Hard Drives Chic {Giveaway CLOSED}

209 Comments 19 October 2010

Darling readers — You are about to embark on a sponsored post. However, the opinions and thoughts expressed here are completely my own. The great writing writing and remarkable wit bad jokes are also mine. You can find more information by reading my disclosure policy.

* * *

I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but my daughter is perfect.

And no, bias means nothing to me. She is simply perfect.

My sweet baby girl is growing up so fast – she’s well past three and a half years old and I can hardly believe it. She is my only daughter, my only child and that very well could be a final count. When she was born, the poor thing probably though she was being attacked by the paparazzi. I took over 1,000 photos of her first week alone. Sometimes I would just lay her on a blanket, or prop her up on the sofa for impromptu photo shoots – I wanted to remember every single moment of her life and I was so afraid it would all slip away so quickly. Of course, now when I look at the photos of the first few months of her life, I can barely remember those days so I feel like all of the time spent behind a camera was probably worth it.

Then my iBook crashed, and it crashed hard. It started throwing out kernel panics like they were candy and before I could do anything to recover – it was all over. When my Mac crashed, it took all of my photos and documents with it. I lost so many precious photos of my sweet baby girl – moments that I worked so hard to capture that still managed to slip away in mere seconds. Honestly, I was heartbroken in a way that I thought was reserved for lovesick 16 year olds. I had backed up my computer 2 months before, but I had lost the 2 months of photos that I had taken in between backups – two months out of the 18 that my daughter had been on this earth – and to me, that was significant. The external drive that I was using for backups was big and bulky and I was sharing it with multiple computers; backing up my computer seemed tedious and pointless – my computer would never crash like that, right?

Wrong. Lesson learned.

Collective Bias recently offered me the opportunity to review the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Pro – a 750 GB external hard drive for both PC and Mac. After my photo snafu, and because my iTunes/Gossip Girl addiction has totally filled up my computer’s hard drive, I JUMPED at the opportunity to take one of these sleek looking drives for a ride. Let me just say – I LOVE it. Here’s why:

  1. At 750 GB, it has more space than the hard drive on my computer, meaning I can hopefully extend the life of my Mac (save for any Kernel Panics like above) by freeing up space on my hard drive.
  2. It’s super portable (unlike the giant bulky one I had used in the past) – it fits nicely in the neoprene organizer that I carry all of my power cords and accessories in when I travel, so I never have to travel without the data and photos on my external drive – so it really works like an extension of my computer, which is wonderful.
  3. It comes with a USB 2.0 dock plus a USB 2.0 cable to sync and backup my data, but I can also upgrade it to use a Firewire cable, a USB 3.0, or eSATA just by pairing it with the proper cable. For my fellow tech geeks, you know I’m now speaking your language.
  4. It’s sexy! Yes, external hard drives can be sexy and the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Pro is proof. After all, the name of my site is Chic Shopper Chick – you didn’t think I’d get away without pointing out how sleek this looks sitting on my desk, did you?
  5. It’s easy. Encryption software comes pre-loaded on the drive, as well as a driver for the Mac. It’s also compatible with a PC, if that’s what you’re into. :)

Plus, it allows me to store all of the documents for my business, as well as 3.5 years worth of photos from Audrey Grace’s life – like these:

Those are definitely memories worth preserving, right?

    I’d like to win because my computer crashed in August, and that was the first time I ever realized it was possible for a hard drive to have NOTHING retrievable off it. With all the money my daughter spends on music and I spend on embroidery designs, we really need to be backing everything up, but it’s gotten to be way too much to put on a CD.

  29. Diane Baum says:

    I need a way to back up my hard drive, my sons have filled my memory with thousands of games

  30. Colleen S says:

    Weve been floating on a hope and prayer when it comes to backing up our systems. not only do we stand to lose our pictures and personal things, but we would also lose our household management stuff. That would be soooo bad.

  32. Jill Myrick says:

    When my hard drive on my computer crashed a few months ago I lost everything from personal documents to pictures.
    But to me the pictures were my biggest loss as they were years worth of special memories including birthdays, weddings, Christmas etc of my children over several years.
    I have replaced the computer but have not been able to recover my pictures as yet.
    I would love to have this so that I don’t ever have to go through that again.

  36. Geoff K says:

    We could really use a new, reliable hard drive to back up our family members’ 2010 vacation photos – between us, we’ve gone to NYC, Haiti, and Paris, and I worry constantly about losing those files, so it would be terrific to have some extra peace of mind. I guess that’s a common answer, but it shows you how precious personal photos are for preserving memories!

  37. susitravl says:

    I just got a new laptop and would hate to lose everything on this one, like I did on my last. :(

    Seagate is the best

  57. Selene says:

    I would like to have this unit to backup my hobby entries so I can carry it with me in our RV.

  58. Martina says:

    I would love to win because we have a laptop and a PC at home, and only the laptop is currently backed up regularly because our current external hard drive doesn’t have enough storage to back up everything. So this would be perfect!

  59. Tonya Dean says:

    That’s awful to lose those pics. I remember taking so many when my daughter was little. Then she turned 11 and hated having her picture taken. The only ones we have for the last couple of years are the ones we took being sneaky. I have lots of her sleeping (which make her really mad!). So enjoy taking as many as you can while she is little.

  67. Alex K says:

    I’d like to win because I need a place to store all my backup information and pictures in case of some kind of malfunction.

  68. I would like to win because you just scared me! I have an 18-month old little boy and I do have a lot of our photos scattered on Facebook, Shutterfly, and some other random social networking sites – but there is nothing like the way you organize your folders and whatnot’s… I would FREAK OUT if I lost all of our photos and the organization, dates, and names I have spent time on throughout the past 1 1/2 years! I think I would be devastated!!! :)

  69. AuraR says:

    The reason I’d like to win is simple. Any backup is better than no backup, and if I win I’ll have the ultimate backup!

  76. Susan C says:

    I would like to win because I had my pictures stored on my laptop and my desktop and both of them crashed in the same week. What are the odds? Anyway, I lost all my photos and essays I have written. I don’t want that to happen again! By the way, you’re right. Your daughter IS perfect-such a cutiepie!

    I want to win because I am now sharing our not-very-big backup drive with another computer that has a ton of stuff on it, so I’m worried that it is going to run out of space.

  132. Bacallsmom says:

    I want to win because I need a new external hard drive. My old external hard drive only connects with FireWire. Our computer died, and when we replaced it, we were not able to get one with FireWire capabilities. Luckily enough, I had the FireWire drive backed up on CD, but I need to move those files to a more long-term storage option. So this external hard drive would be just the ticket for us.

  133. John Kirkpatrick says:

    My daughter is now going to college. While we help her as much as possible, she is on her own. Her notebook crashed last year loosing all her notes, homework, & her entire life to hear her tell it. I wish she had this kind of safety net.

    My photos aren’t backed up and that makes me nervous. This would be great.

  137. Shannon says:

    I want to win this because I have a ton of family photos on my computers, including and not limited to Family reunions ( at least 3 years worth! These photos are used for the pamphlet for the next years reunion ) Family vacations ( 2 years worth),and I beleive at least one wedding. As well as photos of family members and pets that are no longer with us. I’ve also scanned in older pictures so that we can get them when we need them.

    I’m really walking that line when it comes to not backing these up. ( I did have an external hard drive, but I let someone borrow it so they could fix their computer and have yet to see it again. If I get another one no one is going to touch it but me!)

  138. Katherine says:

    I have several sewing patterns (embroidery) and would love to store them on this.
    What beautiful pics you have enjoy your little girl!

    Our first grandchild is due soon, and I am stocked up on batteries for my camera! To lose ONE single picture is one too many. To me pictures equal memories, and those are irreplaceable.

    I would really love to win because I’m an amateur photographer and have SO many hi-res photos saved on my computer that take up so much space and that I would be devastated to lose if anything ever happened to my hard drive!

  150. Kim says:

    I have a lot of photos and I really need to make a good back-up copy of them. Right now, I just use a USB flash drive and the Seagate seems a lot more secure!

    I’d really love to win this because just a couple of weeks ago, either I got a virus or something and I needed to replace my hard drive on my computer….I lost everything. Photo’s, important records, etc. Stupid me, I never did backups and now I learned my lesson. I’d really love to have one of these mostly for storing family photo’s. I’m so heartbroken that I lost the ones that I did.

    Thanks so much.

  153. Adrienne Gordon says:

    I could use this for backing up my videos and pictures.

  154. Rebecca Graham says:

    I would like to win this because it is so easy to pack when I travel and I can take it anywhere.

  155. Benny says:

    I already subscribe to your email list!

  156. Benny says:

    I have tons of family pics and videos that NEED to be backed up on an external. This would be perfect!

  157. Brandie says:

    I would use this for very similar reasons – pictures, and also digital scrapbooking. I’d love to be able to work on all my digi stuff on my laptop even when I’m away from home. Alas, I have a very small portable drive that holds about 10% of what I need it to. If I had this, oh my, I think I would jump for joy LOL!

  158. Meghan says:

    My laptop was running slow so I moved all my videos and photos of Lanie to a free web photo storage service… They didn’t bother to mention a few things:

    1.I can only get thumbnails of the pictures unless I order prints,
    2. If my account went overlimit they deleted old photos, and
    3. anything deemed “inappropriate” (ie her first bath… Cute little chunky butt pictures…) were deleted without warning!

    I lost so many wonderful memories and my laptop is completely full again! A hard drive would give me peace of mind AND the use of my laptop again!

  159. Mommy-Chic says:

    I completely understand how you feel about those lost 2 months! You just reminded me to back-up my computer now. I have an external hard drive, but it is a dinosaur (and about the size of one too). I would love to have a smaller, sleeker unit to store my 582,479 baby pics! Thanks for the giveaway!

  160. Workman says:

    I travel the world making audio recordings for radio stories. That has a way fo clogging up a hard drive pretty fast. This hard drive would go a long way towards helping solve that problem.

  161. Cameron says:

    My condolences on those two months. I, too, have lost some very important things to me on my hard drive and various flash drives while distro-hopping between Ubuntu and its friends, but nothing like what you lost… non.

    I would like to win the hard drive so that I can dispense with my flash drives and store all of my music, photos, chat logs and anything else that I can consider important in my life that needs preserving.

  162. mamikaze says:

    I need a new one! My SeaGate FreeAgent 350 is full with old photos. I need one to keep my current backups on now.

    I tweeted this and subscribed to your email list.

  163. Cris Goode says:

    I sooo want to win to store all my pics of my 3 year old, oh and work files too ;)

  164. Katy says:

    Yay! A giveaway for something I want.

    Like you, I take a million pictures. I also do a little graphic design when I’m in a bind. I’d love to have a place to store all that stuff so I won’t lose it if my computer crashes or gets a virus.
