Digital Home Thoughts: Seagate Announce New GoFlex Range

"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 have announced the replacement for the FreeAgent line of portable hard drives that has served them well for a long time now. The new GoFlex range has the usual USB 2.0 connections but can also handle USB 3.0, firewire and eSATA through it's new GoFlex cable system. There is also a new HD media player in the GoFlex range, as well as a Net Media sharing device. More details and a link to the press release can be found on Engadget.
