COMEX 2011 debut: Seagate GoFlex Satellite mobile wireless storage

Monday, August 29th, 2011

Seagate today announced the first battery-powered external hard drive to wirelessly extend the storage capacity of any Wi-Fi enabled mobile device. The 500 GB GoFlex Satellite will be widely available from mid-September at S$299. Pre-orders can be made during COMEX 2011.

Bring the GoFlex Satellite everywhere you go to wirelessly expand the storage of up to three tablets and devices. With 500GB and Wi-Fi access over 802.11 b/g/n and a rechargeable battery, this latest member of the GoFlex family connects wirelessly to devices via the use of the free GoFlex Media app—available now on iTunes, the Apple App Store and Android Market—or a web browser.

Many tablets are hampered by the limited on-board storage capacity and lack of connection ports to connect to external storage devices – even though they are popularly used for media consumption.

“No longer will a consumer feel as though it is a compromise to purchase a lower capacity tablet or iPad. With GoFlex Satellite, people will be able to carry their entire media library with them without the need for wires or the web at a fraction of the cost of adding 3G or purchasing or a higher capacity tablet,” said BanSeng Teh, senior vice president and managing director of Asia Pacific and Japan, Seagate Technology.

As a companion for mobile devices, the GoFlex Satellite is capable of providing hours of entertainment for up to three connections. With a stand-by battery life of up to 25 hours, the powerful lithium polymer battery delivers up to five hours of continuously streaming video.

To help with extending battery life, the freeGoFlex Media App provides a progressive download feature, which temporarily loads the video on to the Android device it is being streamed to, allowing the drive to go into stand-by mode.

Streaming over the Internet has enabled video access for tablet owners, but the quality is at the mercy of the Internet connection, be it over Wi-Fi or 3G/4G. With more connected devices per hotspot, it’s often difficult to watch video without choppiness or pixilation. Rather than rely on a buffered stream from a distant provider, GoFlex Satellite mobile storage wirelessly serves up media content as a local attached storage for up to three devices at the same time.

GoFlex Media App

Seagate GoFlex Satellite 500 GB wireless mobile storage Available for Apple iOS devices such as iPad, iPhone and iPod touch and any Android devices; the GoFlex Media app provides a seamless way to connect the mobile wireless storage to your mobile devices. Those that currently use an Android smartphone or tablet can access content on a GoFlex Satellite device through its web browser.

Media Sync software

Seagate GoFlex Satellite 500 GB wireless mobile storage The easy-to-use Media Sync software, also included free with purchase, makes grabbing media from a Windows PC or Mac OS X computer a breeze. Wherever the files are stored, whether that is a file structure of your own creation or in an iTunes library, the Media Sync software will load all of your desired music, videos, photos and documents on to the GoFlex Satellite drive.

Media Sync is easily configured to only place files on the drive that are compatible with your iOS or Android device. Even music and videos purchased through iTunes can be loaded to theGoFlex Satellite drive and will play on all authorized devices.

Loading Media

Seagate GoFlex Satellite 500 GB wireless mobile storage For rapid loading of media content, the wireless mobile storage comes equipped with the superfast USB 3.0 cable to get files from the computer to the GoFlex Satellite drive. The USB 3.0 cable will also continue to work with USB 2.0 ports and is easily removed for portability. In addition to the USB 3.0 cable, the GoFlex Satellite drive comes complete with a car charger and a compact wall charger.
