The 3TB FreeAgent GoFlex Desk external hard drive can store up to 120 HD movies, 1,500 video games, thousands of photos, or countless hours of digital music. The 3TB GoFlex Desk external drive’s USB interface can easily adapt into a USB 3.0 or FireWire 800 connection to meet speed needs. <\/p>\n

Seagate’s Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Product Line Management, Dave Mosley said, “Consumer capacity demands are quickly out-pacing the needs of business as people continue to collect high-definition videos, photos and music.”<\/p>\n

“Seagate has a tradition of designing products that break into new storage frontiers to meet customer requirements and the 3TB GoFlex Desk external drive is no exception-delivering the highest-capacity storage solution available today,” added Mosley.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

The GoFlex Desk external drive delivers unconstrained, high-capacity storage and automatic, continuous backup with software file encryption to help keep all data safe and secure. <\/p>\n

The standard USB 2.0 interface can be upgraded to USB 3.0 or FireWire 800 by coupling the drive with the appropriate GoFlex desktop adapter to increase file transfer performance by up to 10x for easier copying or sharing of files.  <\/p>\n

It is compatible with both the Windows operating system and Mac computers. Each drive includes an NTFS driver for Mac, which allows the drive to store and access files from both Windows and Mac OS X computers without reformatting. The NTFS driver is simply installed once on a Mac computer, allowing it to read and write files on a Windows formatted drive. Its sleek black, 3.5-inch design sits either vertically or horizontally to accommodate any desktop environment.<\/p>\n

The 3TB GoFlex Desk external drive with USB 2.0 adapter can be purchased through select retailers and resellers for $499.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
