Simplify: 7 Guiding Principles to Help Anyone Declutter Their Home and Life

Win a FreeAgent Go 500GB External Hard Drive!

seagate freeagent go external hard drive

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Mihla, with comment #18, the winner of the FreeAgent Go!

This week, as part of our Weekly Hot Spot, we’re going to be talking about organizing your computer files. To launch the series, I am so excited to tell you about the Seagate FreeAgent Go External Hard Drive.

Whether you’re looking for a backup solution for your pictures, documents and other important files or for easy portability that gives you access to your files no matter where you are, the FreeAgent Go is an amazing storage solution starting at just $100 for 500GB of storage!

I really cannot get over how far technology has come since I had my first Tandy desktop computer — running on a DOS platform — almost 20 years ago. The fact that this tiny, lightweight gadget can hold 500GB worth of data blows my mind! And it’s so stinkin’ cute too, in your choice of 10 sleek colors!

seagate-freeagent-go-review-promoAlthough I’ve been looking at external hard drives for over a year now (how’s that for procrastination?) to backup the hundreds of pictures I take every month of my girls, the usability of this hard drive really goes far beyond that. I now work on two computers — my main laptop and an Acer netbook — and having an external hard drive that is this portable and convenient to use allows me to quickly and easily switch between the two depending on whether I’m working in my office (i.e., the corner of the couch), on the front porch or on the road.

It means that instead of having different versions of various documents on both computers, I can keep my files organized and simplified through the easy sync feature, which comes as part of the pre-installed Seagate Manager software.

I also discovered — although I haven’t yet tried it — that I can purchase additional software from Creedo for just $30 that will allow me to actually run programs from the hard drive itself, which will be incredibly useful for the Acer especially, since netbooks can get quickly bogged down with too much software installed.

One lucky Organizing Your Way winner will win a Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB External Hard Drive with the following features:

:: PC-compatible
:: 5400 RPM spin speed
:: USB 2.0, up to 480 Mb/s
:: 3.1″ x 5.1″, 5.6 ounces
:: FreeAgent Go Dock docking station
:: Automatic backups and encryption
:: Five-year warranty

Hi. My name is Mandi and I’m an organizing junkie. I’m also a wife, and Momma to four little girls (5.5, 4, 2.5 and a baby!). I've worked at home since our oldest was a baby, and like a lot of other moms, my life is a constant balancing act of caring for my family and my home, meeting my obligations and finding time for hobbies in there somewhere. Oh, yeah, in the interest of full disclosure, I’m somewhat of a kitchen dunce and I only like to pretend that I’m crafty. Read more here!

  1. Hi, I would love a external hard drive because I lost all my information on my laptop in May because it crashed. Please put me in the drawing.

  2. This is my second entry because I am already subscribed to Organizing Your Way. It was because of RSS feed that I heard about this great giveaway.

  3. I’m just organized about my school papers. Everything else is just thrown around!

  4. I’m a subscriber!

  5. After a computer crash in which my techno son was able to recover my photos and music onto his external hard drive, I’ve been looking at buying one myself. I’m horrible at purging. This would be a blessing.

  6. I’m a subscriber to your email updates.

  7. I have a external hard drive which just died on me – uggg. Fortunately, I also back up using Mozy and I had everything on DVDs. But, I’m in the market for a new EHD :) So, your blog post was timely for me!!!

  13. File structure…well, for this, I’d use it primarily for my photo and document storage. While I try to backup every few months to DVD, can’t say that its always perfect…or remembered.

    The size comparison to the soda can is just amazing.

  14. On our family computer I organize our files by family member. Specially my kids school work, that way is easier to delete when school year is over and free some space.

  15. Currently I backup to an online service and DVDs, but I have so many files I’ve run out of space on my internal drives on both my laptop and desktop Macs. I need to have immediate access to these files, so a large external drive is the best solution. The Seagate FreeAgent Go would be the perfect choice.

  17. I’m not the best at organization on a daily basis – but when I get down to it (usually on the weekends) I get the job done. As for computer files – I go through my pictures file about once a month and separate them all into specific folders to clean them up. My husbands computer just crashed, too – so we need to transfer all his old picture files onto my computer. Thanks for the contest!

  21. I have only a few files that I would be crushed if I lost, our financial stuff and my pictures. I got sick of the endless picture CD’s last year and purchased an external hard drive to keep them all on. I back my checking account up at least once a week to a flash drive. Works for me!

  26. I keep my computer files pretty organized….though not as organized as some. I have backup files, also. I organize things into separate folders as much as possible on my computer.

  27. Hi! I would like to be entered for the hard drive. My computer files are kinda organized. I just got a new computer and am in the prosess of moving files from the old to the new. . . and its a pain

  34. I am terrible about backing up my files. I back them up online when they’re really important, but then I’m paranoid that they will be lost. You’d think I would be better about it because I have had a computer stolen and lost most of my kids baby pictures.

  48. I would love a new external hard drive (red!) of my own. During our last move, the cord to our old one was lost and has not been found. :(

  49. I am an email subsriber and love the posts! Thanks so much!

  50. I let hubby organize our pics and back them up. I am more into having the hard copies!

  51. I am trying to get better organized. I use a 500 GB external hard drive and a 200 GB external hard drive – one for backup and one for work files, exclusively. I swap files back and forth when, for example, I have a to do a complete reformat and reinstall (I had this happen this week. UGH.) I really love external hard drives, so I would like to be entered in your drawing – I already subscribe via RSS.

    One can never have enough hard drive space. Ever. And I used a Tandy TRS-80 in my very first job! (TRS-DOS anyone?)

  71. Laughing here, and squealing with glee! 1. I’d love to win the external drive; 2. I’ve been on a mission to purge & organize my computer files for the past several weeks. I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I’ve got 3 active computers that need decluttering & organization! It is sooooo frustrating to go to look for a file and have to search 3 places!!! Isn’t that ridiculous? I have a theory – if you have to look for something in more than 2 locations, it’s time to get organized!!! :) So, it’s been a quest for me of late (should have started sooner!) to get that going. This is PERFECT timing, so pick me, pick me!!!

  72. I have a TON of photos and files that I desperately need to back up – and I don’t want something that takes up a bunch of desk space! Thank you!

  73. I am completely unorganized! I have 10,000 pics in my pic file that are not only NOT backed up but are on a computer that is dying by the minute!

  74. I am very unorganized with my files and don’t back them up. I so need this item!!

  75. My son told me about buying a external hard drive. I’m not very good at backing up my photos on it tho. :| He has commandeered it and is using part of it for his own back up.

  168. I back up at work, probably not as much as I should. At home, if we crash I’m toast.

  170. I just finished organizing my photos by month and year. I feel so much better knowing I can find a photo when i need to. Now I just need to win the HD so I can back them up! LOL

    (BTW I forgot to mention above, as a photographer I am an avid backer-upper. I back up on an external + DVDs. One can never have enough backup options!)

  179. Just became a fan of Seagate on FB!

  180. I am going to organize my computer files for the first time after reading all your tutorials. We currently don’t have a real backup system and I would love to win this!

    I also subscribe to this blog and read it in my google reader.

  181. Hey, Mandi!

    I already subscribe to the Organizing Your Way blog. =)

    I think this is an awesome giveaway. I really lack in this area of organization (and I am a rather technical person!). I would love to have more space and a backup option. My plan is to get an external hard drive. The Seagate hardware looks like a good option!

  182. This is my separate comment, just stating I subscribe to this blog through Google Reader. =)

  183. My computer files are organized by topic and even date depending on what they’re for. I do have a system in place to purge, although I’m not always the best at it. What I find works best is if I make sure I put temporary things on the desktop. I hate having anything on the desktop, so I know I am guaranteed to delete it the minute I don’t need it anymore. For things I need to wait on temporarily, I have a desktop folder for holding them. Finally, if it’s something that isn’t going away anytime soon, it actually gets a home somewhere else.

  185. I think I’m pretty organized about how I file things on my computer, but I could be far better at purging things I don’t need. I have an alert set up to remind me if I fail to do a backup every 30 days and I try, before I do my backup, to purge at least one file and to get rid of as many e-mails as I can from the previous month (but I’m not always 100% successful).

  186. My computer is somewhat organized. I tend to purge and organize my downloads folder at least once a month.

  187. I also subscribe in an RSS feed reader.

  188. I JUST sorted all my files last week when I had the flu. My daughter saw my computer and said, “Oh no! Your computer crashed?” I had to tell her, No I just put everything in folders finally. Now my desktop is nice and clean. I would love a harddrive, I am using a little stick right now and it’s full, so I constantly have to delete stuff and hope my computer doesn’t crash :)
