Seagate unveils 3 terabyte version of the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk External Drive
Are you looking to lug around as much digital content as possible? Seagate’s here to help with today’s announcement of the new 3 terabyte version of the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk External Drive – the world’s first 3 terabyte external hard drive.
With 3 terabytes of disk space, the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk External Drive can be used to store massive amounts of multimedia content or be used for PC backup purposes. According to Seagate, the 3 terabyte drive can store 120 HD movies (this number will ultimately depend on the HD resolution and codec of course), 1500 video games, thousands of digital pictures, and thousands upon thousands of digital music files.
When it comes to backup, the GoFlex Drive supports automatic continuous backups of your data, secure backups for privacy, and a Dashboard management tool for easy management of backup schedules, and file encryption as well as viewing drive stats.
Although the drive supports USB 2.0, it can be upgraded to a faster interface to increase transfer speeds when paired with another GoFlex Desk desktop adapter. You can graduate from USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 or FireWire 800 when the need arises.
The 3 terabyte FreeAgent GoFlex Desk External Drive has a suggested price of $249.99 and is currently back-ordered on the seagate website.
