This new family of external drives and accessories introduces  a new  level of flexibility to traditional USB 2.0 storage that will change the  way  people store, access, enjoy and share their digital content. The  FreeAgent<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> GoFlex\u2122 storage family includes easy,  plug-and-play  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seagate.com\/www\/en-us\/products\/external\/external-hard-drive\/\" target=\"_blank\">portable  and desktop drives<\/a>,   with an array of interchangeable cables and desktop adapters that allow  each  drive to adapt to the interface or device being used. GoFlex hard disk  drives  are also specially designed to provide interoperability between  operating  systems in order to work with both Microsoft<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Windows<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and  Mac<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> OS X computers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoFlex\u2122  interface cables are about providing the speed, performance and  connectivity  people need to support their interaction with their digital content. The   explosive growth of video capture and multimedia collecting is expanding   personal digital libraries to terabytes worth of content within the  home,\u201d said  Teh Ban Seng, Vice President and Managing Director, Asia Pacific and  Japan,  Seagate Technology. \u201cThese trends are driving demand for high-capacity,  high-performance storage. The GoFlex\u2122 family of storage products meets  this need  by delivering simple, USB 2.0 storage and backup devices, with the  flexibility  to adapt as interface technology advances by using the various GoFlex\u2122  cables  and accessories to access content stored on the same drive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Protect,  store and access files through the interface of your choice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Recent  survey results by the Yankee Group indicate that more than half of  people  planning to purchase a new hard drive consider the interface connection  an  important factor in their selection. GoFlex drives address this concern  by  providing a flexible, plug-and-play way to adapt to the most popular  available  interfaces or devices. The seamless GoFlex\u2122 cable system enables the  GoFlex\u2122 and  GoFlex\u2122 Pro ultra-portable USB 2.0 drives to be upgraded to USB 3.0,  eSATA or  FireWire 800 connections simply by switching out the cable adapter.  Additionally, specially-designed GoFlex upgrade cables provide even more   applications of how each drive can be used. For example, the  <strong>GoFlex<sup>TM<\/sup> Upgrade cable \u2013 Auto Backup <\/strong>transforms the  drive into  a<strong> <\/strong>continuous full-system backup, giving consumers the peace of  mind that  their files and system settings are backed up, while leaving the  remaining  capacity for basic drag-and-drop file transfer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs consumer\u2019s lives become  increasingly  connected, people will demand capabilities beyond the traditional hard  drive,\u201d  said Carl Howe, director, Anywhere Consumer Research, Yankee Group. \u201cConsumers  are  looking not only for storage, but for new ways to use their digital  content.  Connecting, sharing, and repurposing content is part of the purchasing  decision  process for today\u2019s \u2018Anywhere Consumer\u2019<strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0  <em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do  More with the GoFlex Storage System <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Within  the GoFlex family, Seagate has created a special ecosystem wherein  people  experience easy backup and enhanced protection of all their data\u2014the  same way  they would expect a traditional hard drive to perform\u2014only now their  interaction  with that content is not wholly dependent on the drive. In addition to  several  cable options, people can pair a GoFlex or GoFlex Pro ultra-portable  drive with  a GoFlex\u2122 TV HD media player or the GoFlex\u2122 Net media sharing device to  enhance  their experience of the drive\u2019s content.<\/p>\n<p>Using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seagate.com\/www\/en-us\/products\/home_entertainment\/hd-media-player\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>GoFlex\u2122  TV HD media  player<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>consumers can  easily  enjoy their personal digital media library on their television screen by   inserting a GoFlex ultra-portable drive or GoFlex Pro ultra-portable  drive  directly into the media dock, or connecting another storage device,  digital or  Flip camera to the two additional USB ports on the back of the device.  Using the  intuitive remote, owners of GoFlex TV HD media players can view movies,  photos,  and music from the comfort of their couch in 1080p high-definition and  surround  sound.
