Looks like Seagate’s not content with giving users a choice of connector — the outfit’s latest GoFlex apparatus utilizes a docking system to give users an easier way to upgrade their NAS. ‘Course, those that really plan ahead will go ahead and grab a multi-bay device like Data Robotics’ Drobo FS, but for the money, it’s hard to argue with the FreeAgent GoFlex Home. Designed to work seamlessly with Windows-based PCs and Apple’s Time Machine, the 1TB and 2TB devices provide a NAS dock for the drive to sit in, and the dock itself also boasts a USB port for adding external storage to the mix or sharing a printer over the network. Seagate’s also tossing in its Share Pro service, which enables families to access content stored on the drive from mobile devices such as an iPhone, iPad or BlackBerry. Best of all, the $159.99 (1TB) / $229.99 (2TB) asking prices won’t totally crush the bank, so it seems like you’ve just about run out of excuses for backing up those childhood memories.
