The Storage Effect

All Things Storage The Storage Effect

Big, portable, fast plus a chance to win…happy early holidays.

Big, portable, and fast.

That sounds weird, but that’s what Seagate’s latest GoFlex is…not weird… big, portable, and fast.

  • BIG = 1.5TB capacity
  • potable = 2.5-inch external
  • Fast = USB 3.0 standard

The Seagate GoFlex 1.5TB also marks a couple firsts…the first 1.5TB portable drive and the first portable drive with USB 3.0 standard.  Of course, for GoFlex, standard means it ships with a USB 3.0 adapter, you still have the freedom to go FreWire or USB 2.0, but why would you do that? USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, so no worries there.

So given the backwards compatibility, when will USB 3.0 be the de facto for all USB drives?  Probably not until it becomes the standard for all notebooks and PCs, and we may not see that until mid next year. This is your chance to get ahead of the curve…this GoFlex drive will be available at Best Buy in October, and widely available by the holiday shopping season.

And there’s more…the drive ships with Paramount Pictures Star Trek FREE, and you can enter to win one and an Asus notebook with USB 3.0 here.

BIG, portable, and fast, plus a chance to be on the cutting edge by winning a new notebook and the world’s largest most flexible portable drive?

What are you waiting for?
