We gave an Editors' Choice award to the first round of Seagate's FreeAgent Go external hard drives, but as with all things related to storage (and storage only), bigger is better, so we're very anxious to get our hands on these new FreeAgents with up to 1TB of space.

Just announced Wednesday, the new line will look almost exactly the same as the original, but as expected, the 1TB version is a little chunkier than the rest. In addition to the original catalog, Seagate now offers 750GB ($200), 880GB ($210), and the 1TB ($250) version as well. Of course, the drives will continue to be supported by Seagate's comprehensive five-year warranty and are fully compatible with all of Seagate's external accessories, including the FreeAgent Theater Dock.

The new FreeAgents are available for order now on the Seagate Web site.
