In my local Costco today I saw that they are selling Seagate's FreeAgent 750GB External hard drive for $199. This price is also available at Costco.com. USB 2.0 / eSATA / Firewire interface. |

Fanless? I can't find any real specs anywhere. Seagate's pressrelease points you to http://www.seagatefreeagent.com/ A completely blank page http://www.seagate.com/freeagent/ A 100% flash crap-fest with lots of graphics and zero content. |

Don't know. I didn't buy, but thought others may want to know. |

A friend of mine bought one of these over the weekend. He says it runs cool-n-quiet (even under load--he was backing up several smaller data drives to it) and has no fan in it. I can't confirm or make any promises, but that's what I was told. |

FWIW, this product got a _lot_ of bad reviews at newegg. About 1/3 of the reviewers reported that the eSATA interface didn't work. Others reported that eSATA was slower than USB 2.0. |
