Seagate featured in Big Bruin Tech News and Reviews: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 500GB Ultra Portable Drive
The choices that consumers have these days for external storage has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years, and most recently the size and performance of those drives has closed in on internal drives. Seagate is one of the premier storage leaders and has been for may years thanks to both their internal and external solutions.

Seagate featured in Computer Shopper: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Ultra-portable Drive (500GB)
2010 is a tricky time to buy a speed-sensitive computing peripheral. Speedy next-generation transfer technologies like USB 3.0 and eSATA are popping up in new laptops and desktops, offering much faster transfer rates. But perennial port favorites like USB 2.0 and FireWire are still much more common, and they aren’t about to vanish from home or office computers anytime soon. So, if you happen to have a new PC with, say, a pair of speedy USB 3.0 ports, do you opt for a USB 3.0 external drive that works great at home, but is limited to USB 2.0 speeds on your office machine? And what about when new technologies emerge that may be even faster, like Intel’s Light Peak optical cable technology?

Seagate featured in KiddieCorner Deals: Father’s Day Gift: Seagate FreeAgent Go Portable Hard Drive!
A while back our computer decided it didn’t want to turn on anymore. We brought it to computer repair and was told our hard drive had failed. I immediately wanted to get sick as I had so many photos of my children and family in folders upon folders on the drive. Ever since that day happened we knew an external hard drive was a must.

Seagate featured in Slash Gear: Seagate GoFlex TV HD Review
Back when we reviewed the Seagate GoFlex HDD we concluded that, while the concept of an external drive with interchangeable cables was reasonable, we thought it would make more sense when used with the company’s multimedia docking stations. Happily that’s just what we have on the SlashGear test bench today, the Seagate GoFlex TV HD, a standalone media player that boasts compatibility not only with the company’s own GoFlex drives but with any USB storage.

Seagate featured in Hardware Geeks: Seagate GoFlex Net
As you probably already know, Seagate has a new eco-system called GoFlex. The GoFlex eco-system easily allows you to swap the connection type of your external hard drive between USB 2.0, 3.0, Firewire and eSata.
After checking out their GoFlex External HDDs last month I got my hands on the new Seagate GoFlex Net which will allow you to convert your portable GoFlex drives into a NAS, and get access to the data on those drives anywhere in the world via the PogoPlug service.

Seagate featured in geek.com: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive
Seagate’s GoFlex is a modular external storage system. You start off with a base piece, like a 2.5-inch external hard drive and then you snap on the connection you want–USB 2.0, USB 3.0, eSATA, and so on. It’s a simple solution to the problem of data connectivity. The design makes connections upgradeable and can extend the life and usability of an external hard drive without changing the enclosure it’s in.

Seagate featured in USA Today: Digital media players move content from PC to living room
Hard-drive companies are on a new mission to do more than just back up your data. Now they want to bring you and your digital content into the living room.

Seagate featured in FamilyCircle: Easy Ways to Back Up Data
If there is one universal truth about using computers, it’s that sooner or later something bad will happen to your data. Hard drives die without warning. Laptops get lost or stolen. File-munching viruses worm their way into your system. And then there’s good old human error, as in, sometimes you just do something stupid—like accidentally delete a file (or, gasp, an entire drive) with a single absentminded mouse click.

Seagate featured in USA Today: Seagate unveils flexible external hard drives
Buying an external hard drive for extra computer storage usually involves determining the type of drive connection you need (USB, FireWire, eSATA), and formatting the drive so it will work on a PC or a Macintosh, but not both.
The new family of FreeAgent GoFlex drives that manufacturer Seagate has just unveiled promises consumers more flexibility if their storage requirements change.

Seagate featured in Engadget: Seagate introduces new GoFlex range: multi-port HDDs, media players, etc.
We all knew Seagate’s FreeAgent line couldn’t hang around forever, and tonight the storage mainstay has revealed the next logical step for the line. The GoFlex family is one of the more varied ranges out there from any hard drive maker, with the primary intent on the HDD side being to create drives (ranging from 320GB to 2TB) that are friendly with both Macs and PCs (simultaneously) while also giving users the ability to upgrade their connection or switch it out depending on what workstation they interface with.

Seagate featured in Cnet: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Pro (500GB)
Shopping for an external hard drive usually means choosing the device that corresponds to the fastest port (most commonly USB 2.0) on the back of your computer. Although other connections, like FireWire 800, USB 3.0, and eSATA, are quickly gaining popularity for their impressive transfer speeds, most shoppers settle on USB 2.0 because of the premiums that companies charge for the extra ports.

Seagate featured in Cnet News: Seagate GoFlex: Portable storage goes superflexible

As it turns out, however, Seagate has been working on another major evolution.

“Protecting your digital assets after death”
Thanks to an endless stream of gadgets many of us are in heaven when it comes to technology. Do-it-all phones, never ending storage, social web sites – to many this is what life is all about.
Â
At some point though drop dead gorgeous gizmos outlive their owners. But once we die, what happens to the digital life we leave behind?
Â
Plan ahead
Â
As might be expected, policies vary from company to company. E-mail providers will often give up the deceased’s password on receipt of a death certificate from the family.
Â
Social site Facebook offers to memorialize a page by freezing it in time, but Flickr refuses all access to an account and Twitter does not even address death directly in its FAQ.
Â
A new book, Total Recall by Gordon Bell and Jim Gemmell, raises intriguing questions about who eventually owns your personal digital data. That is why estate planners say it is best to take charge while you are still breathing.
