Seagate FreeAgent Pro HDD previewed

GizModo previewed a new portable hard drive from Seagate called FreeAgent Pro.

The FreeAgent Go has a capacity of 160GB and features the Ceedo virtualization software to run programs directly from the HDD.

What'd we like? It's small, lightweight and quiet but feels surprisingly sturdy. It looks great and the yellow glow is nice, but if it's not for you, you can always turn it off. The read/write speed is average, so there's nothing to complain about there (you can scope out the benchmarks in the gallery). Apps run from the drive generally lag-free.
