Seagate GoFlex Satellite

July 4, 2012 by admin Leave a Comment

This review is written by my husband, the gadget geek! Who a few years ago made me buy him a Seagate Hard Drive instead of an engagement ring*.

I was possibly not the intended “average user” for the Seagate GoFlex Satellite drive.  We don’t own an Ipad and as a rule we don’t normally watch movies on mobile devices.  Yet, I am utterly addicted.

My laptop is full, I am forever juggling files etc around and constantly performing demos of software for prospective clients which tend to require large movie files and presentations.  What I have managed to use the Satellite for is some additional storage which is very fast and convenient to access.  Oh, and when I said we don’t tend to watch movies from mobile devices – that was before we had the Seagate GoFlex Satellite!

The very cool small enclosure makes the external drive look like a quality space-age product.  It has USB3 connectivity which is very fast. I didn’t have a USB3 port and had to use USB2 but the 500Gb capacity, and the size of movie files made this a lengthy process so I bought a USB3 card.  Now I can transfer my files (and now movies) to the device very quickly.

So now, when I am at a client site and I want to display a large demo presentation to an audience I just get them to link up to the GoFlex directly and play it on their devices.  They love it.

But what is most awesome, when I am away on business, stuck in my hotel room and refusing to pay for movies on the TV, that’s not a problem.  I just fetch the GoFlex Satellite out of my bag, press a button and run the app on my phone or laptop.  No wires, no fuss all very cool!

 

I think he liked it!

The GoFlex Satellite is basically a wireless streaming device which allows you to take your media library with you wherever you go and stream wirelessly to your iPad®, Android® tablet or smartphone.

You can:

  • Take more than 300 HD movies with you on the go.
  • Stream media over Wi-Fi to eight devices at the same time.
  • Sync media and documents automatically from your PC or Mac computer.
  • Access and stream your media easily using the free app or your device’s web browser.
  • Up to seven hours of battery life ( depends on the model )
We were sent a Seagate GoFlex Satellite free of charge to review. 
*He is also now minus a wedding ring after losing it at the train station. 🙂
