Mate, there is nothing like ultra portable drive as far as freeagent GO is concerned. You have ultra portable drives only with go-flex series drives according to seagate website. BTW did the packing say anything like freeagent GO ultra portable ?. I am very sure that you have been ripped off by 200 bucks...

Thanks!.Actually the Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB Poratable Drive was available for Rs.3700, but this one costs me 200 bucks more, because its a bit smaller than the former. Its the Ultra-Portable Edition. I dont know whether they charged me more or not, but it was cheaper compared to many other stores at my place(Cochin).

I dont think Seagate is having international warranty. I purchased a drive from dxb, it went bad, and when I enquired with the Seagate Serive people, they said that I have to take it back to dxb itself to claim the warranty :-(

I saw both models and yes, the packaging says that its FreeAgentGo Ultra-Portable. I will post some screeshots later.
 
Wow.. I am pretty confused!

The one which I bought from ebay and got delivered today is called Seagate Expansion Portable Drive. Link below,

Seagate Expansion Portable Drives | Seagate

The 500GB version costed me aroound INR 3200/- It comes with a 3 years limited warranty and is imported in Aug-10 by Redington.

How is this different than the FreeAgent Go series? Is it better/ bad than the other ones???
 
Apart from poratbility, is there any other difference in the quality or performance of Seagate Expansion against the Freeagent GO?

No performance difference. The expansion ones have 3 years warranty, and thats what Seagate will be pushing going forward.
