Fact: some of the most popular mobile devices being sold in the market nowadays simply have no way of interfacing with traditional USB-compatible external hard drives. Case in point: Apple's iPad, RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook, Samsung's Galaxy Tab, etc. That's a bummer considering the fact that internal storage on devices such as these usually cap off at halfway to the 100GB mark. The solution: Wi-Fi enabled external hard drives such as the Seagate GoFlex Satellite. So far, I think it's the only one of its kind in the market.
With a capacity of 500GB, a single Seagate GoFlex Satellite drive will enable you to carry up to 300 full-length high-definition movies wherever you go. Support for both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 is included, but the real highlight is on the fact that it can connect to compatible devices wirelessly via Wi-Fi with a range of up to 150ft. You can browse the contents of a Seagate GoFlex Satellite drive on devices like the iPad and any Android tablet with the use of a downloadable GoFlex Media app. One Seagate GoFlex Satellite Drive can accommodate to up to three different devices wirelessly at the same time (tablet, smartphone, laptop, you name it) and can last up to 5 hours on a single charge.
Seagate hosted a launch party for the Seagate GoFlex Sattelite earlier tonight at the SM City North EDSA Annex Cyberzone wherein the general public was invited to join in games and raffle draws. Having no idea that an official launch event was going to take place, I was unprepared and so I had to leave early. But I was assured by the lovely ladies who were accommodating the guests at the event that the Seagate GoFlex Satellite was now indeed officially available here in the Philippines, for a mere 10,000 Pesos ($233 USD) a pop. Who knew cutting off wires could be so expensive?
