Rumor has it that Seagate is dropping the brown/orange colorway on its FreeAgent external hard drives and refining it to a more futuristic look (as pictured above).  The bigger drive is most likely the FreeAgent Desktop, the standard desktop drive.  To its right is probably the FreeAgent Go, or another iteration of Seagate’s portable drive line.  From the picture, it is evident that there is the inclusion of a new docking station, which will help show off the eye candy element of the drive.  Not only will the drives shed their brown exterior, they’ll be available in grey, black, silver and others, including red, green, gold, and pink.  For Mac users, it is especially exciting to hear that at least one of the drives will be formatted for instant use in OS X, so lowly Windows users will have to format the drive in order to use it. 

Look for a formal announcement for these external hard drives sometime next month.
