The Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk External Drive offers reasonably good value. It's a great option for anyone who is after serious storage capacity, security and peace of mind. Danny Chamoun, PC World Australia ...
Highest capacity singlevolume external storage device available, Flexible design that makes it easy to add more connections and features, Decent performance
USB 2.0 connection only as standard (other connection adapters cost extra), Drive topples easily when used in the intended vertical position, Runs rather hot

Abstract: Transporting your photo collection and creating all-important backups couldn't be easier than with an external hard drive. In our latest group test we round up 6 of the best external hard drives for photographers to see which offers the best combination o...
Abstract: In our recent review we tested a couple of USB 3.0 flash drives from Kingmax and Kingston which represented the two extremities of the current model range of such products. The Kingmax failed completely at processing small files and turned out to be th...
You can hook it up to a PC or a Mac with no formatting, It is running 4TB of space – there is nothing bigger that's commercially available right now, The read and write speed is pretty fast on it, Oh, did I forget to mention? IT'S 4 TERABYTES!
The price is absurdly high, as is the price on all new tech, There's a slight stability issue because of the shrunken footprint, Only 7200 rpms – not a true negative, but you know faster ones will be coming soon
Very simple in operation, Throughput is dependable on the cradle, Various storage sizes,
None so far.

Lots of storage space, Easy to use, PC or Mac, Seems well made, Comes with easy to use backup software, Upgradeable and interchangeable interface
Small base, Only comes with USB 2.0
The Seagate 3TB FreeAgent GoFlex Desk External Drive is the ultimate storage and backup device surely. 3TB should be more than enough for most people and the included software is very easy to use and can be useful as well.Sure it’s only UBS 2.0 but th...
Abstract: Seagate has been synonymous with storage for decades, but it has often followed a relatively conservative path. GoFlex changes that; it promises to keep external hard drives almost futureproof by making the ports as removable as the drives themselves...
Upgradeable to faster storage standards, Good pricing, GoFlex TV: wide standard and service support, GoFlex Net: Pogoplug software, GoFlex Desk: 3TB, quiet,
GoFlex adapters are proprietary and expensive, GoFlex TV interface, features now very typical, GoFlex Desk's automated Windows backup app isn't free, 3TB needs a newer OS and firmware, or special support.
The GoFlex line of products from Seagate is a smashing, if qualified, success. We really like the idea of upgrading connectivity on our storage devices and applaud Seagate for leading the storage industry on this front. That said, we don't want the com...
