Seagate Ups the Ante with New 3TB External Hard Drive
Posted in: external hard drive, Today's Chili, usb
This morning, Seagate announced the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk External Drive in a three terabyte capacity, its largest so far. The drive allows users to store as many as 120 HD movies, thousands of photos, or hours and hours of digital music.
Each drive includes automatic backup and encryption software for continuous backups, plus the Seagate Dashboard utility. It’s compatible with both Windows 7/Vista/XP, and Apple Mac computers (via the included NTFS driver). Mac users who want to use the preloaded backup software or Apple’s Time Machine software must reformat the drive to HFS+.
Thanks to the GoFlex system, the new drive is as future-proof as technology can reasonably be expected to be these days. Users are able to upgrade the drive’s native USB 2.0 interface to USB 3.0 or Firewire 800 with the purchase of additional GoFlex adapters.
The 3TB GoFlex Desk External Hard Drive ($249) comes with a GoFlex USB 2.0 adapter base with capacity gauge, a 5-foot USB 2.0 cable, and a quick start guide. If you don’t need 3TB of storage (yet), the GoFlex Desk External Drive is also available in 1TB ($129.99) and 2TB ($189.99) capacities.
