Seagate Released First 3 Terabyte External Desktop Drive
Seagate Technology has announced the 3TB FreeAgent GoFlex Desk
external hard drive, the first 3 Terabyte (TB) external desktop drive.
The 3TB GoFlex Desk external drive couples immense capacity with the flexibility to adapt the drive's USB 2.0 interface to a USB 3.0 or FireWire 800 connection to meet varying performance and transfer speed needs. Consumers can create, store and access content from either a Windows or Mac OS X computer on the GoFlex Desk external drive,
thanks to an included
NTFS driver for Mac. This means consumers can move files between the two platforms without the need for formatting.
The huge storage capabilities could even allow both PC and Mac users to digitally stash away up to 120 HD movies, 1,500 video games, thousands of photos or countless hours of digital music.
When it comes to backup, the GoFlex Drive supports automatic continuous backups of your data, secure backups for privacy, and a Dashboard management tool for easy management of backup schedules, and file encryption as well as viewing drive stats.
The standard USB 2.0 interface can be upgraded to USB 3.0 or FireWire 800 by coupling the drive with the appropriate GoFlex desktop adapter to increase file transfer performance by up to 10x.
Each drive includes an NTFS driver for Mac, which allows the drive to store and access files from both Windows and
Mac OS X computers without reformatting. The NTFS driver is simply installed once on a Mac computer, allowing it to read and write files on a Windows formatted⁵ drive. Its black , 3.5-inch design sits either vertically or horizontally to accommodate any desktop environment.
