Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive storage

The FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive storage solution includes plug-and-play portable and desktop drives. Interchangeable cables and desktop adapters allow each drive to adapt to the interface or device being used and the hard disk drives are designed to provide interoperability between operating systems in order to work with both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X computers.

GoFlex drives provide a flexible, plug-and-play way to adapt to the most popular available interfaces or devices. The GoFlex cable system enables the GoFlex and GoFlex Pro ultra-portable USB 2.0 drives to be upgraded to USB 3.0, eSATA or FireWire 800 connections simply by switching out the cable adapter.

Additionally, upgrade cables provide even more applications of how each drive can be used, eg, the Upgrade cable - Auto Backup transforms the drive into a continuous full-system backup while leaving the remaining capacity for basic drag-and-drop file transfer.

An ecosystem has been developed wherein users have easy backup and enhanced protection of all their data only now their interaction with that content is not wholly dependent on the drive.
