Seagate did a masterful job with the retail packaging, and all of the contents (save perhaps the Theater itself) seem as compact as possible. Seagate includes a FreeAgent USB dock for your PC, too, which saves a few seconds that might be spent hunting for a USB cable. The AC adapter is pleasantly small, and the remote is palm sized without feeling fragile or easy to lose. The remote control neither impresses nor frustrates, although we did observe that the receiver tends to need a straighter shot at closer range than other devices in our home theater array.
